Pine64 as a viable desktop replacement ? here are my thoughts!

[Luke]

Take a look at my post if you are considering using the Pine 64 as a backup/secondary desktop.  

Obviously you missed https://launchpad.net/~longsleep/+archiv...our-makers since HW accelerated video decoding is already possible (even HEVC with high bitrates)...

And then please so an 'sudo apt-get install iozone3' on your device and provide the output of

Code:

cd $HOME ; iozone -e -I -a -s 100M -r 4k -r 16k -r 512k -r 1024k -r 16384k -i 0 -i 1 -i 2

This will show the performance of the SD card you use (which is somewhat responsible for the snappyness when using a desktop Linux image)

Thank you! Yes, I did miss that post - I will, of course, correct what I wrote. I am running a class 10 32gb Samsung card.
