FWWIW, I do run octoprint on a BananaPI (older 1GB model, don't recall the exact modell, but I *think* it is an BananaPI BPI-M1 > Can it can now run an xfce4 desktop, just like an rpi4b, giving good video > for octoprint?

Not sure what you mean with image. AFAIC there is no "octopi-style, ready to run" image for the BananaPi. /me installed it ages ago, and IIRC I used a Debian installer for that. Said that, I'm not sure what BananaPi you are getting, but https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Allwinner lists a few, and a few as marked as "unsupported bootstraping." -- tobi
