Apparently not being managed all that much. It was never intended as the "final" edition for PBP, simply one that worked best at the time. For me, it has been, and continues to be, trying new distro's that have since been made better by someone(s) effort.
Even though I have an early PBP, it isn't my intention to keep the original distro on my machine. Once I find one I like better from my own testing and others experiences, the current Debian is toast...
My PBP has the ISO keyboard which isn't what I wanted, but what was available. But I make it work and only requires a small effort on my part. Some day, down the road, I'll get a PBP with an ANSI keyboard, probably a better default distro and maybe some improvements.
For $200.00 it is a remarkable achievement. One I am pleased to be part of...
Best Regards, Rick :-)

The most elegant solution is figuring out how to include from ubuntu repositories only selected software such as chromium and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra. Good luck.
After playing with it, think I'll continue playing with other distro's and simply replace the default OS. As I remember when the PBP was being introduced, the default Debian was the best working solution at the time. Not intended to be the final solution.
I like Manjaro, so that is likely the winner.
Want to keep up with the improvements new OS's have. Bad idea?
