While tow-boot will get a somewhat reasonable sleep, my tests showed (IIRR) 11-12%/d
BSP uboot has 3 files, all *.img (idbloader, uboot, trust)
Mainline (also tow-boot) has 2 files, idbloader and u-boot.itb
Most people don't seem to care much about sleep, nearly all mainline can't do s3-mem (called suspend)
So the sleep that results is very poor, 10x worse or more
A fresh install of manjaro will have mainline, there is a BSP in repo
Unlike mrfixit, the install is manual, ie you have to do the dd commands
(I am referring to the mrfixit update)
A specific kernel is also required (for s3-mem), but no-one seems to care much to fix this mess
Anyway, if you examine the console statements in manjaro, you can see
what is right for serial comms, to fix armbian to at least have serial and maybe try to trouble shoot video
I dunno about most people but one of the key things i like about laptops is that they are lightweight, compact computers with a screen and a keyboard on a hinge, and that i can configure them so that when i decide it's time to stop using them i can just fold them shut and shove them in a bag and go.
You'd think it wouldn't be much of a hassle to save my work and do a clean shut-down but it turns out that I've had the PBP for almost 2 years now and even for the task of "something over by the 3d printers to access octoprint" it turns out I'd rather use my 2010 era asus 1215n. Because i can fold it up and shove it somewhere and when i open it back up it will still work, and i can't say that about the PBP, even if it stays plugged in.
