I'm looking at buying a new laptop and I've got my eye on a PinebookPro. Can I install KDE Neon on it?

Cheers.

I've not seen a KDE Neon release for the Pinebook Pro, only for the older (less powerful) Pinebook.

Will try it today and then will take a feedback. It worked with previous Bionic release, so trying with Focal now.

I tried it, but was not able to install those NEON repo. Seems like some dependency problems.

If You install Manjaro for the PineBook PRO You will have the newest possible AARCH64 (ARM) KDE desktop You can have

It does not call itself  "Neon" but I see nor differences in build state

The problem why the latest NEON cannot be installed to PBP, is that it does not support ARM64, only ARMHF architecture.
The older NEON supported ARM64 too, I dont know why they dropped support for ARM64 in the current NEON.
