About Jan 10, there was a note from Luke to OT upgrade the keyboard/trackpad. I had only seen advice to upgrade things, so I did that upgrade
Some days before that, another note from Luke mentioned that xorg should not be upgraded. I haven't looked to see if xorg is pinned. Is there a list of which packages should be pinned?
Small computers like this often seem to have problems with entropy, so I typically install haveged. It is now in the laptop.
I gather the GPU won't really work well with MESA, until a person is at MESA-19.1; which is where the big support for midgard/panfrost shows up. If xorg needs to be pinned, I don't think I'll be getting to that eany time soon.
I think trying to use the laptop while on a bumpy road might be interesting.
Oh, terminals and character sizes. one of the terminals that seemed to be installed, allowed me to change the font for the terminal session. So, I installed the xfce4-terminal. And that works fine.
At some point down the road, it might be nice if there was a tarball of this particular thread.
