Official, supported, fully featured OS - where is?

Hi.
I'm new user of NanoPi Neo. I use RPi in embedded solutions for several year and now I try to use nanopi.
With RPi I use raspbian and from my point of view everything just works and I can everything just install using apt-get. Of course, I can change my habitats, but I need some support to start.
I tried to install three OS. Armbian_5.20_Nanopineo_Ubuntu_xenial_3.4.112.7z and Armbian_5.20_Nanopineo_Debian_jessie_3.4.112.7z don't work - no boot (blue led blinking and next both leds turn off, and again - maybe to week power source?) but Ubuntu Core works ok - no problem with boot, ssh works ok.
The main problem with Ubuntu is empty repository, for example lack of mc (Midnight Commander - I've compiled it - ok...). But, in fact, I'm not going to compile everything I need to use... I know that pure, minimal OS is very nice, but I expect that I can install everything from repository. I do something wrong or Ubuntu Core repository is really so limited?
