Pinebook Pro Initial Impressions

[Techdragonz]

I bought myself the Pinebook Pro as a birthday gift, one of my better choices for sure.
Have been using it straight out of the box, the battery life is really impressive, and i am very well taken with the OS and the display. It is almost my daily driver just working on a few niggles.
Managed to get RedNoteBook installed and working, i do a lot of 3D Printing and thus use Cura a lot, currently have been unable to get that to run, a work in progress.
Other niggle is that the microsd card keeps being mounted as READ Only, which is driving me nuts, have trawled a lot of forums and tried many methods all to no avail currently.
I do not want to move away from the Debian installed at this time, i am more used to Ubuntu to be truthful and Yocto Linux, but do not intend to spin my own distro at this point.

Congrats to all the Team at Pine, this is a great laptop, build quality is really high and the components and ease of use is amazing.

thanks all round.


Cura doesn't work? That's sad. Would have been one of the main programs I use on it haha...
