Hello folks, in hopes to improve my workflow ill post some scenarios and questions so that i can see weather these things to me are feasible or not, so here goes;
Disclaimer; i know that this device is meant for low powered computing and or tinkering but, at the end of the day is another singleboard computer adapted to a laptop form factor and as such i did expect some basic usage out of it, which it lives to the expectations but it also leaves me with some questions on how to maximize the usage i give to this.
I have been taking the pbp to work so that i can do some light tasks like arranging ideas for music, type up some lyrics, do a bit of Internet marketting and even the occacional youtube watching despite the WiFi being quite slow.. Now the video watching has gotten better when it comes to watching videos online, and i can definetly type things and even do some light tracking and creating to organize my beats and structures. After i went through the setup process with jack+pulseaudio its definetly doable and im happy it most certainly is.
But, ive come across various issues, those being software wise, the main distro im rocking is manjaro because of how much good work has been put in it but a few months ago ive been experiencing constant kwin crashes, ive started asking myself if there is a DE that would be better suited for responsiveness and whatnot since at that point is was tired of the many interruptions and time spent tinkering for better performance and less bugs.
I know the device is not comparable to say, an x86 laptop in speed or maybe even stability but i know there are better ways to work with this pbp. I was going to try out debian but all i get are 'scrambled' looking images as if someone threw the monitor in a blender idk why..
Can someone help me or rather suggest DEs or w.e. ? At this moment im not having a very pleasant experience and i know it can be better.
