First Impressions
#43
Well, I finally got my PB on Tuesday 27 June and the first thing I have done was to install KDE Plasma desktop to check if it works at all. It worked, but after a while I figured out that it is not for everyday use. Then I dist-upgraded to Zesty Zepus. After upgrading, my bluetooth mouse stopped working, so I tried to boot to Android 7.1 from SDcard. It was incredibly slow from my Kingston 32 GB Class 10 card, so I installed Android 6.0 to emmc. The installer was very interesting, it installed without any question and any notice Smile

Now, Android 6.0 is finally the system that runs quite fine, like I expect to run for everyday use. I installed all the apps I use on my phone and tablet like Firefox, Facebook, Messenger, Google Photos, ICQ, Skype, Hangouts, Maps, Maps.ME, Spotify, Kiosk Play, Google Books, Calendar, Keep, Gmail, Total Commander, Nova Launcher, WPS, etc and it is usable for now. I also uninstalled all the unnecessary apps like stock calendar, gallery, videos, etc. I think it runs similar like on my LG G Pad 8.3 tablet or older LG L90 phone. I will see later after installing the rest of the apps.

edit: I was quite surprised by one dead pixel I noticed yesterday. It is not so big problem, but is it not like that the displays used in Pinebook are a little faulty from the start and this is why PB is so cheap?
