Thank you everyone for all the work on this! I just got my pinebook and Manjaro has worked really great for me. Everything is smooth and seems to work better than even the default Mate image.
The only problem I have is with suspend/wake. I only get a blank screen after a lid close. I would love to do anything I can to help resolve the issue.
suspend / resume is a known problem with tsys's patched mainline kernel.
if you have skills in this area please feel welcome to fix this!
Flashed Manjaro to a SD card, loving it. Thank you!

Hey y'all
I've been toying with Manjaro ARM all day and I am digging it. I'm booting it from a MicroSD which is probably why it is a little slower at opening applications overall than stock Debian but it is much smoother.
Other than the known suspend issue I have noticed that:
- When pausing or resuming a YouTube video the speakers pop, like a static discharge or something. It also happened a couple times after I closed the YouTube tab and came back to this forum to post this very reply. It isn't a very big deal but something I felt I should mention.
I am really enamored with my PBPro and will continue distro hopping but Manjaro ARM has just set a very high standard.
Cheers!
Just some guy

Thank you for trying Manjaro and testing it for us. About the Static discharge issue, we're aware of it and it is something to do with kernel side dtb changes. We're waiting for the kernel dev's to look into it, I agree it is not a big deal but it will be fixed soon (hopefully).

I have also been using Manjaro ARM since receiving my Pinebook Pro and am overjoyed with it. It has the best hardware support and addresses the most quirks of this device currently, which is great. I had never used Manjaro or Arch in the past and I've found the experience wholly positive.
Exciting times ahead, thanks for all the hard work!
Hi all. New user of Manjaro ARM on the PineBook Pro.
Is anyone using the USB Ethernet dongle from the Pine64 store? I cannot get mine to work. It lights up ok. But all my attempts to bring up the eth0 interface fail.
Using "ip a" or "ip link" shows it as DOWN. The system loads a r8152 module for the dongle. I was hoping the interface would activate and dhcp would give it an address. Giving eth0 a static address does work, but it is not able to connect to internet through the dongle yet.
Question: Will Network Manager - handle both Wifi and USB Ethernet dongle?
Any suggestions on how to get the dongle working?
Kernel Updates
I installed a small program and that triggered pacman to update the whole system including the kernel. During this process, I realized kernel updates could be handled better:
Kernel updates delete the old modules and so the newly installed modules don't match the running kernel. The running kernel can't now load any further modules. I believe modules should never be deleted by the system (or at least in a much smarter way).
