My Experience Using the Pinebook Pro as a Daily Driver
#5
Moaning...
why mantscharo? why not excotic-smell-no-3567-6??
There are debian, ubuntu, redhat, fedora, CentOS as well known and commonly used linux derivates.
And: "enjoy the simplicity" Oh yes, with KDE the most consuming display ever....
with 10.768 best hidden things to configure where only 50 are required.

Hows about a good keyboard, language, screen, sound, network configuration interface as that is all we need
in the first attempt. Missiing in gnome, KDE, mate, Cinnamion, LXDE, LXqt, so almost everywhere.

I'd like debian but I think ubuntu would have been the weay to go.

tried Daniel Thompson's Debian Installer but:

No wlan out of the box
No sound out of the box
No screen resolution, only 1920x1080(Maybe someone can construct a full screen looking glass to identify the letters?)
No way to xrandr 1366x768 (black screen) so the driver is scrap

Conclusio: NO, not really something that I can use to replace my best hated Windows 10 notebook.

Working three days to get a small lean LXDE humping around. With a looking glass beside it.
