Manjaro ARM 19.12 Official Release - PineBook Pro

[chzbacon]

Heya,
Thanks so much for this build. I appreciate all the hard work that's gone into getting Manjaro on the Pinebook Pro. I've been testing it out for a few hours now. I'm currently running it on a SD card. I just wanted to jump in and give a little feedback. I know some of these were mentioned in the post already, but just wanted to share my experience.

The bad

• Wifi is still a bit flaky.
  
• The XFCE build does indeed have graphical glitch issues and you need to hit esc after booting.
  
• Sound does work, but the volume level is really low (much lower than the default debian build). It also doesn't seem to work until you adjust the volume with via the function key, and then it works. There is also an audible crackling which was noted in the post on the Manjaro forum.
  
• I also noticed when the wifi crashed it basically rendered the entire desktop unusable.
  

The good

• After switching to the fbturbo driver things seem to be a little more stable and screen tearing isn't as bad. I've also not had any issues with wifi so far since switching graphics drivers.
  
• The function keys work really well, except the suspend (as noted int he post). I haven't tried an external display.
  
• Locking the trackpad via the function key seems to help out with the current trackpad issues which plague all of the current builds for the pinebook. If you use a mouse and disable the trackpad it works really well. (even disabling the trackpad in the default debian build causes any input on the trackpad to be detected which prevents you from typing on the keyboard.
  

Overall a great update to the first preview image. I very much appreciate all the hard work that has gone into these images. In my opinion Manjaro will be the idea distro for the Pinebook Pro. I would think anyone using the Pinebook Pro is likely going to want bleeding edge software and updates making Manjaro a great solution to that. Kudos and keep up the great work. 

Update:
The privacy switches also seem to work well.
meta+F10 = disables the microphones
meta+F11 = disables the wifi (once renabled you'll need to reboot for wifi to work again which is a known bug)
meta+F12 = disables the webcam
