New pinebook owner and user - ideas?

[trigger]

Well a matching bank would be great, but I already have an Anker Solar panel on my wishlist. Of course, I could superglue some cells to the case of the pinebook to charge it by just putting it outside on a sunny day... interesting .

The keyboard backlight is probably pretty easy to do, I think. Just solder hardware it to a power source with maybe a switch in between. There is nothing wrong with the keyboard itself (given the price point it's pretty good I think) and of course backlighting is a luxury, but it's a moddable notebook for a reason!

I'll focus on just choosing an OS that will fit the 16GB EMMC for now. I tried DietPi from the Etcher installer (booted from SD) but it ran into unresolvable errors while updating the OS for the first time and I honestly don't understand why they still make LXDE look so UGLY. It's not that hard to pick a proper font type/size and make it look less like an etch-a-sketch. I think I'd like to try standard ARM Debian with I3 or another simple WM, but I'm not that experienced yet that I can custom-build my own OS (I'm going to learn anyway because that could be really useful on this notebook).
