OS Options for Pinetab2 - Evergreen - 09-04-2024
So, I haven't really used my Pinetab2 much lately, because I have tried multiple times to install the stock image of danctnix and then update so that I can finally get Wi-Fi working to no avail. Is it a skill issue? Partly, sure. However, the image is so old that I imagine that it will be a challenge regardless.
I want an OS that will stay up to date so that I can use the device daily. I would prefer to get the experimental Wi-Fi driver running, despite the potential issues. However, it isn't a dealbreaker for me, since I do have a USB-C to ethernet adapter I can use to run updates when back at home.
I have 3 questions for the community:
1. For those using danctnix, has anyone had success with updating the stock KDE image? Or is there a different way you've gone about installing an up-to-date version of danctnix?
2. For those using Rhino Linux, how is the experience? And is the Wi-Fi driver available in the repos or pacstall?
3. For those using Ubuntu Touch, how is the experience? And is the Wi-Fi driver available somehow?

The wifi driver for Danctnix has been quite stable since it was included in the default kernel config. It should even be enabled in the "latest" img of danctnix (iirc correctly, it was added ~6.8 kernel.)
I haven't seen any reports on Rhino, but last I heard ubports is still very much under development and not ready for standard use. ubports does include a driver for the bes2600, but it's not exactly stable/useable

Try using the updated factory image from 3.5 months ago, should have the wifi preloaded:
