Will an ANSI keyboard be an option or will the Pinebook Pro be ISO keyboard only? I love everything else about the Pinebook Pro so far but every other computer I use has an ANSI keyboard
Speaking as someone who has had both ANSI and ISO keyboards as their primary keyboard, I wouldn't worry too much about that. It's very easy to get used to and even switching between them isn't much of an issue.
From my experience this is pretty important. Constantly switching between ISO and ANSI when I got my laptop (and before I swapped the keyboard for a brand new ANSI one) drove me insane, and I would constantly hit quotation marks instead of enter. I guess this depends on the person (probably a non-issue for people who look at the keyboard when tying) and those used to ISO or used to switching (enter could be 1U for me, I always hit it on the left side.
Does anyone know whether Arch Linux ARM project will support this laptop? They seem to have Rock64 support at the moment, and I haven't heard of any involvement in getting a port ready before release. I'd love to be able to use my favorite distro from day one without having to use something else as a stop gap before making a switch back to Arch.
