LibreOffice
I installed LibreOffice from the app center. It did not take on the elementary theme and looked like a Windows 95 app. However, installing it with synaptic fixed that issue. I'm guessing a dependency issue in the app center.
Synaptic
Synaptic doesn't theme well, either. But, then, my experience with it has always been that it's difficult to get synaptic to blend nicely on other distros as well.
Desktop Graphics
I tried figuring out if there was a way to get the desktop effects smoother and to mitigate artifacts being left behind from popup menus. I tried a quick run with compiz and compton but both had bad results out of the box. Any ideas or suggestions or is this a panfrost issue?
Also, highlighting text with the mouse in firefox doesn't, well, highlight. Highlighting works in other apps. I do have acceleration turned on with webrender trick.
Adding PPA's
Tried installing software via ppa but couldn't get the ppa to be accepted. This was the last output line:
Other
Been working on eOS and notice that updates are constant throughout the day. So, that's really cool and a positive sign.
Not really sure where to send feedback or issues since it's still seems that the arm version is in an experimental stage at the moment. So, hoping this helps out in some way. I'll continue to report here until otherwise directed.
I'm really enjoying my time with eOS on PBP. It's really looking like I may use this as my daily driver.
