Better (than default Debian/MATE) Linux distro?
#13
I don't mind sharing the image but i'm just not sure how to create one ... never did it before.

About compiling ... i didn't compiled whole ubuntu just kernel from tsys
Ubuntu is installed via debootstrap to sdcard, compiled kernel is installed to /boot folder on sdcard. i have edited /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf to boot from sd.
When you install ubuntu on sdcard you can configure it using chroot
Also compiled modules need to be installed to /lib/modules

When all booted ok ... i've booted Ubuntu from sdcard and copied all files to nvme and edited extlinux.conf (root=LABEL=... part)

About last question: Everything works ... kernel is form tsys(Manjaro kernel) so everything it supports ... works.
About 3d ... ubuntu 20.04 uses mesa 20.0 git so 3d is also up to date too

Also tsys started to mainlining his patches so in time we should have mainline kernel working on pbp
