A few questions, just got my Pinebook Pro
#1
Absolutely lovely computer and booting to the already installed system on eMMC works really well.
Its snappy and boots fast. I tried installing Manjaro/Plasma, but if feels very sluggish in comparison.
A few questions.

1) Is this something that can be fixed (or will be) in the future (sluggishness)? if anyone knows

2) I read in the March update news that Pine will be using Manjaro as the default moving on. Does this mean the (I guess its) Debian which comes pre installed will not be supported anymore, or not have as much support as Manjaro?

3) I was not presented with any installation to eMMC when booting Manjaro from SD, are there any tutorials available for installing to eMMC with encryption for the drive? Or at least just installing to eMMC?

4) This might be a stupid question, but when the Pinebook is booting there are no option for BIOS. This is normal for these SOC computers, correct?
