An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro
#36
I'm a proud PBP user with encrypted filesystem's Debian installed using this repo Big Grin
I've also installed Chromium... but I needed to use armhf build and sid because it seems it is not included in testing right now.
Basically:

Code:
# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/unstable.pref
# 0 < P < 100: causes a version to be installed only if there is no
# installed version of the package

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 50
Code:
# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main
Code:
# dpkg --add-architecture armhf
# apt update
# apt install -t unstable chromium-browser:armhf

It downloads ~1 GB but it seems to work fine Smile

Also, I'm using gnome as desktop... it feels a bit slow but so far so good.

Thanks @danielt  !!!

I spoke too soon... I've rebooted after the Chromium installation and now the desktop doesn't load.
