Would a Pinebook Pro be good for a Linux newbie?
#1
I missed out on the Pinetab before (which might've been the preferred device). I'm aware it's ARM, and that it's possible to load Linux on Windows laptops via USB etc. I've seen the "What Are The Current Strengths & Weaknesses of Pinebook Pros?" thread. I understand there are other alternatives if we're just talking specs.
But it would be nice to have a device made for Linux, and something that just does Linux when you switch it on (...I assume). I'm interested in ease of use. There doesn't seem to be anything in the way of "entry-level" Linux. I hope the PbP is the answer to this.
