A request to anyone with a Pinebook pro / other Pine device..

[account3122]

Pinephone running PureOS:

real 31m8.188s

It"s faster than a Pentium4 at least 

Thats interesting! And considering the fact the Pentium 4 draws over 90W of power thats impressive I would say! Once the pinephone is a bit more developed I may end up getting one, however I'm in the unfortunate position of everyone using Whatsapp / Messenger which is a big problem. I'll probably stick to the other Pine hardware xD

Thank you very much for doing this, its very helpful! Thats fantastic, it performs better than I expected.  I'm not a heavy user really I will mostly be using libreoffice, general web browsing, streaming videos from a network share and compiling the odd program etc so this looks great.


Just for anyone else who is interested here are some other results from my computers: ( I am using the "real" value from the time command)

Ryzen 5 3600 - 48 seconds
Core 2 Duo p8700 - 8 Minutes, 38 Seconds ( This is quite a high end model of C2D)
Raspberry Pi 3B+ - 22 Minutes, 7 Seconds
Pentium 4 (1core,1thread@3ghz) 37 Minutes
Raspberry Pi B (1core@.7ghz) 388 Minutes

Thanks again all this has been helpful!

Ryzen 5 3600 @ 48 seconds, that's insane! I just built a new gaming rig based on the 3600 and a RX 5600 XT, I haven't tried Linux on it yet as I've been having too much fun playing all my RPGs (Skyrim, Dragon Age, Witcher etc) at max details and just enjoying the beauty of it. I have a Core 2 Quad Q9550 with AMD FirePro GPU that is my main Linux machine, running Slackware and Xfce. I get great compile times on the Quad, considering it's a 10+ year old machine at this point (Slackware doesn't have a package manager per se, you have to compile packages using SlackBuild scripts so compile time is important on that OS), but I've found my quad core N3710 based netbook also running Slackware can compile almost as fast as the Quad so I guess it's time to upgrade. I'm already planning to replace the netbook with the PBP once it arrives, and my hope is to get Slackware working properly on it, with Manjaro as a fallback.

Nice! I upgraded from a core 2 quad q6600 to this build last year (Well, I got an Athlon 200GE and then upgraded to the Ryzen when they were released) I am running windows 10 on mine unfortunately as Adobe programs don't play nice with linux  I need to look into setting up a virtual machine for windows to be honest as I don't really have a need for it otherwise. However I did have Kubuntu or KDE Neon ( i don't remember which ) running on it for a couple of months and that was pretty good, Steams proton engine has come a long way as well I even got GTA5 running with decent performance which was nice!

I am looking forward to getting a Pinebook Pro as it will fit my needs perfectly for a laptop and performance looks good for what it is!
