Updated Q4OS (Pinebook) 2.4-r5 on
Wiki and PINE64 Installer.
Added Q4OS (1080P Pinebook) 2.4-r5 on
Wiki and PINE64 Installer.
I just got my Pinebook 1080p and it's running Q4OS, which is much faster then the Ubuntu with KDE Neon that was installed by default.
I'm happy with the fact that it runs PHPStorm, Oxygen XML (I use 14) with the openJava jdk that is available in apt repo.
I find video playback with vlc and YouTube in chromium a bit sluggish,
it's a good system, I got it looking kind of like Mac OS classic (i can't get it to look exactly like OS9)

Hardware video acceleration doesn't work so far, however it should be enabled within some forthcoming Q4OS release. Anyway, you can install Q4OS on top of Armbian Stretch at the moment, see
https://www.q4os.org/dqa012.html . Armbian Pinebook edition should be able to use hardware video acceleration

It would be helpful, if you would post back a result.

What I understand
here in Armbian forum is that hw video acceleration is not working on Armbian Stretch, which has mainline kernel 4.19.y, or do I not understand correctly?
Well, video acceleration probably doesn't work on Armbian. If so, the Q4OS will not be able to use it as well. You could still try to install the latest Q4OS ".r7" release
https://q4os.org/downloads1.html#downloads_spechw , and enable sunxi drivers: "sudo pine64_enable_sunxidrm.sh"
