RE: What did you name your Pinebook Pro? - kettek - 11-14-2019
I tend to prefer very short names so I went with "yan" (岩) which means "rock/crag". I thought it was fairly fitting.
I did almost name it V'ger, but it didn't feel appropriate enough. :p

I named mine 'flynn' after Sam and Kevin Flynn from the Tron movies.

I am toying with the idea of naming my PBP alterkocker -- it's Yiddish, Google it -- after me. That would make it sort of a cyber-mini-me. I will, however, have to consult my wife (who is burdened with the task of monitoring my mental competence on an ongoing basis).

I have most of my machines named for references to James Brown songs or more recently, to David Bowie songs and albums.
I suspect when mine arrives, I can break from this pseudo-convention.
I'm leaning towards "Perkins" after Pinetop Perkins, or the more oblique "TheFjords" ;-)

I've been on a Star Wars motif for literally decades now.
I named this after my favorite new Droid, D-0.
I attached my custom wall-paper, which I made on the PBP with GIMP.
I have it play OGG sound files from RoS like "Battery Charged", "No Thank You" etc. I have about a dozen D-0 sound clips that I tied to different events in KDE plasma. They sound fine on the really shitty speakers of the PBP, it adds to the realism
One thing I discovered - the Notifications configure widget in Plasma can't play WAV files on events, as advertised. It seems to only play OGG.

i name all my computers after characters from dune.
with the pbp i have added "-nvme" etc so i remember which device i booted from.
