as a sidenote, trackpads in general were a mistake. if the pinebook pro had a trackpoint it would be perfect, but i realize most people don't share this opinion, because they are wrong, so that would probably make the product too niche

Too funny aaspectre!  My first laptop was an *IBM* (not Lenovo) Thinkpad 365, windows 98 era machine with trackpoint.  I loved it!  But having gotten accustomed over the years to trackpads I wouldn't want to go back. 

What distro are you running?  My daily driver is a thinkpad that I've run the plasma version OpenSuse Tumbleweed on since ~2016.  I'm *trying* to like Mate but it doesn't appeal to me aesthetically and seems very limited compared to plasma.  I feel like I owe it to Pine and the devs to run stock so I can help iron things out, but I'm looking forward to moving on to something that suits me better.

Enjoy your PBP!
