Edit Reason: Added pix

I received my pine64+ 2GB earlier this week. After scrounging a while to find an old machine with Windows on it so I could use Phoenix to burn an SD card image (wouldn't work in my VM), I tried out Remix OS on a Sony 64GB card I bought for a different project. It booted up just fine first time with nothing attached save the monitor. I used my Pi 2A power supply, which worked fine.
I am now searching thru my USB wifi and bt dongles to find ones that will work with Remix, but no joy yet. I may give up on that and just hook up the ethernet cable, but then I have to dig out my ethernet over power line box from where ever it is hiding...
So far it's been responsive and snappy other than occasionally freezing for a half second after clicking on some controls.
Overall I'm very pleased, and looking forward to seeing how well it works as a simple media/game station to start.
UPDATE: Plugged in an ethernet cable and it worked no problems. Downloading new apps from the Play store as I type this
UPDATE II: Pix of it running on my den 50" TV with wireless kb/trackpad
