which distro + DE are you using these days on the Pinebook Pro?
#26
Thumbs Up 
My PBP is of the second batch with the 128GB eMMC. I went with the Debian it came with first for a while, then tried Manjaro XFCE, then Manjaro KDE, tried a few others on SD cards, and didn't quite love any of them so far.

Then I discovered Tow-Boot, installed it on the SPI, and am enjoying an almost PC-like boot experience since then. Free of the hassle of making sure every medium has U-Boot properly installed, I tried some more, and am currently test-driving Manjaro Sway. It appears to be snappy enough, and the minimalist tiling experience is quite nice after some getting used to.

If I find the time, I will do more tests with Void Linux…
