I am a developer who has a lot of experience with these kinds of projects. What was promised with the campaign regarding Ubuntu support was not accurate in the slightest, but the way it was presented implied that support was already in place when in fact it was not.
Correct me if I am wrong, but what operating system(s) is/are actually fully running stable on the board besides Android? Has anyone got to the stage of running a DE in a Linux port on the Pine? Also can you or any of the staff direct me to any documentation from Canonical that states the Pine64 is officially supported as so implied with nice "Ubuntu" logo placed on the campaign page?
The project is very ambitious and I like it for that fact, but be warned others in the community will eventually start to question when said support for the other environments outside of Android will be implemented.
Don't get me wrong I do want this project to succeed I just wish that the Pine64 already had an Ubuntu port available as implied in the kickstarter campaign is all. Until then the Pine64 is another Android board.
If it makes you feel any better sir next time I will just post a link to my original forum post for those in the Linux community to read instead double posting in the future.
Furthermore based on the 3d Acceleration discussion, which prompted my critique, the only platform I have come across to date that supports 3d acceleration is Raspberry's platform as I have not seen anything thus far with a Mali GPU offer that to date without a severe degree of instability. This is something myself and others in the Linux community have stated before.
Good day to you sir
you say they is very have ambitious and implied about support Ubuntu logo , this is subjective thinking and they kickstarter no say they is support by official pine64 Ubuntu (Linux) or community Ubuntu (Linux) , just Only have Ubuntu ( Linux ), i don't agree your point !
I don't talk more , if you reply your next message , because this is subjective thinking !
