I've tried just about all the available Pine-specific OS options.
There's only two I've found acceptable, RokOS and now Q4OS. Q4OS has a more recent Linux kernel.
It's a clean, low overhead GUI , and seems quite stable so far.
I'm particularly impressed with how well it runs on my 1GB Pine64.
I've had it running BOINC jobs for a few weeks and no problem at all. Now the Pine can't run the science-y stuff very competitively to say the least, but run it does.
I just installed Ruby and Jekyll on it to use it for blog/website publishing and all is going well.
One issue: the documentation says one can install x2go server from the software center, but it does not appear there. The x2go *client* does appear. (I just installed NoMachine instead. Again, no problem).
Congratulations on this fine work.
