Mini-Tutorial to get a linux Desktop GUI working on Pine64+
#6
Cool - I am perhaps posting this in the wrong place, I have not explored the entire site and this may well be answered elsewhere. At any rate, here it is:

I want to install a Linux distribution that I can use while mobile that uses the LCD Screen that I now have running Android. Thus far I have not had any luck finding one that has that claim to fame. My PC is running both Win 10 and Linux Mint Cinnamon duel boot, I would like to put a Linux distribution on one of my 32 gig cards, while maintaining my 64 gig Android 5 OS to slip in when dealing with things best dealt with in Android using those Apps.

Oh forgot to mention I am running a Pine64 2 gig with 64 gig SD card in a Playbox using the Pine64 battery pack to keep her running with the Wifi and BT adapter board. I purchased as a unit from a fellow enthusiast who got it in the contributor mode and found it was not what he was seeking so he sold it outright to me. I also have another Pine64 board 2 gig with a 32 gig card and plexiglass case sitting at home, this one also has the wifi.bt adapter, the i2c board and had a screen till it was bumped and the flimsy cable tore off. The good folks at Pine64 had promised to replace the screen but for some reason, it has never arrived at our summer home in South Dakota. We are currently in our winter digs sitting in an RV in the Mohave Desert of Arizona, a gentle 35 MPH breeze is hiding all the Mountains that surround our little piece of paradise, and gently rocks the RV much like a loving mother would rock the cradle, the sound of everything on the outside of the rig that is not tied down keeps a steady beat like the drummer in a Galley cruising the Mediterranean Sea, slaves down below manning the oars while above the Barbary Pirates of Old fire upon the ships of some young upstart of a nation called the United States of America. Oh wait a minute, what was I asking, oh ya, can I find a Linux that runs on my little Pine64+ using the LCD screen?
