Awesome! Look forward to trying it out, ayufan is a very busy person. Will it have the same PBP optimizations as the default Debian has?

[ayufan]

It effectively has even more and in some cases (compositing performance with GPU) seems to be faster.

Is there a chance of getting the LXDE/Mate versions built for arm64 for those of us that armhf is not an option? Cheers!

[ayufan]

Unlikely, but. Download `bionic-minimal` for `arm64`. Configure networking with `nmtui` for example and run `install_desktop.sh mate`.

That’s work fine for me. I was concerned that all the required packages might not be present. However if the are all there, I have no issues installing in this manner.

There's no arm64 version of Widevine.

A quick searched turned up something. So it looks like it was built at some point?

Take a look at the list of files in that package, it's all documentation. No working implementation that I can see

[ayufan]

No, no, no. There's simply no widevine anywhere yet for arm64. The armhf are taken from Chrome OS images instead.

It will be once Google gonna have some production-ready arm64 device with Chrome OS. It will happen definitely,
but not yet.
