Thanks for the explanation and detailed (easy to follow) solutions. Still learning Linux. . . the detailed step by step instructions (with just enough detail about what each step is doing) are super helpful.

Of course I must say I'm getting super frustrated with Pine that nothing is straight forward! ...   Just frustrated that the main Pine Team is making this so difficult. . ..

hi YSam,  you are mis-informed about who is making this so difficult.  The people that made this so difficult is the over-zealous marketing team with kick-starter ( who are now gone ) because they represented this development board as a finished 'polished' product;  when in fact,  the PineA64 board is a development board not intended to be a finished appliance. 

Pine Inc provided the hardware development board --  the community of volunteers provided most of what you see from a software standpoint -- and none of them were paid anything for it except that they were provided with a lot of hardware free of charge ( thank you ). 

The truth is that there are many people ( all volunteers ) who are making this experience less difficult every day. The reason none of this is straight-forward for noobs and lay-people is that it is ALL in development even now. Many users on the forum and on the irc have provided their services ( excellent by the way ) on a volunteer basis ;  this is fantastic.  We all feel like each one of us can either be a part of the problem or a part of the solution;  if anyone wants to help it will be welcome.
