If so, it doesn't seem too limited in comparison to default debian, so I'll take your word for it. My plan is to avoid most DEs anyways, and probably stick to awesomewm/sway/i3 anyways. So assuming the basics are working, I don't think my needs are too complex Smile

WiFi works but I'm not using (nor testing) bluetooth at the moment. I have seen some people have had difficulty making it work (check out the mainline kernel thread for clues... IIRC there was something about manually supplying a MAC address).

To be clear I am using a distro built by (a very old version) of the installer as my only OS on the PBP. It's robust and I'm now using PBP to build it's own kernel and bootloaders.

Having said that I'm not spending quite as much time on PBP as I might like... because I have a  PineTime too ;-) .

Alas, it seems bluetooth doesn't work. Relevant thread on the forums: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...2#pid57292

Has anyone in here had any success with this?
