Try Armbian?

I'd like to add that this isn't related to the browser being used. This happens even when no applications have been launched. The possibility of a hardware issue related to the Pine64 NVMe adaptor is interesting. I don't have an NVMe drive connected, but I do have the Pine64 adaptor connected. I may try disconnecting this and monitoring whether the problem persists.

FYI: Ambian is no longer being supported on PBP.

This is simply not true.  Armbian have announced that the board status will (at some point in the future) be changed from Supported to CSC.  Which have some specific meanings within Armbian.  You will still be able to build Armbian manually for PBP, packages will exist, etc.; you will just not be able to download pre-built binaries and some other niceties.

In reality the announcements they have put out recently are a call for help.  Already some people are stepping up to help out in various ways, including some new board maintainers.  If you care about Armbian, maybe consider stepping up, too (personally I am considering becoming maintainer for one or more boards which I own).

Anyway, more info about this specifically can be found in another thread I made for that: Armbian is dropping support for Pinebook Pro, so please direct any replies in this vein into that thread instead.

Indeed, disconnecting the NVMe adaptor appears to have solved the problem for me. I have no idea whether this would still be an issue if I had an SSD connected to the adaptor, but now I'm reluctant to spend the money to find out.

This issue happens to me without the NVMe adapter plugged in. I have been wanting to use the Pinebook Pro as a daily-driving laptop for a while now, but this makes it impossible.

This Armbian page specifically states that there is no official support on Pinebook Pro [url[https://www.armbian.com/pinebook-pro/[/url].  Not that you cannot run it, they have images, but that it is not supported.  My earlier comment was based upon that official word form the Armbian group and page.

One nice thing about the PBP is you can install almost any image you want, and revert to one of the stock images by simply loading it to an SD card and rebooting.

At the time of this post, PBP is "Supported" in Armbian.  Looks like somebody stepped up as Maintainer (wonderful news! ).
