Better (than default Debian/MATE) Linux distro?
#6
Of course what OS you like depends a great deal on what you expect of it and what it is you expect to do with the Pinebook Pro.

For my use I have found Q4OS to work best for me. It is stable and reliable. By and large power management works like I expect it to work on a laptop. Applications I have installed all work as expected out of the box. Printing and scanning work. Email/PIM work well. Office applications work well as does photo management tools. Music and video play back work well with sound levels being at a good level.

The OS comes with a built in screen scaling utility, which makes it easy to set the UI elements to easy to see sizes. And you can decide at first run how much software you wish to be included by default.

Personally for an easy to work with daily laptop Q4OS is shaping up very nicely and I look forward to their stable release.
