Edit Reason: Updating with Further Results
)
Alright, so it appears my fears have come true, but I may be at fault.
First attempt:
* As I couldn't follow directions exactly for Jack's firmware update, I resolved the dependencies to make by installing base-devel and xxd from the Manjaro repo.
* Followed make, step-1, reboot, step-2. reboot and Yes! All my keyboard shortcuts work (alt+tab, super+tab, super+shift+tab, super+arrow, and I think all function keys)
* Trackpad doesn't work at all
* Retired, same result
Second attempt:
* Per the wiki, did the stock firmware update
* No new packages installed, just followed the instructions on git (ayufan)
* Resulted in the same as stock keyboard performance meaning no super+arrow key combos
* Trackpad doesn't work
* Retried, same result
Third attempt:
* In searching for a resolution to my trackpad issues, I found the Manjaro actually has a firmware section for some reason (I guess that's cool?)
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/how-to-flash...pro/112366
* Following the instructions for this I'm still getting the same keyboard performance (no super+arrow) and no trackpad
In summary:
The best I can get so far is with Jack's firmware, which gets the keyboard working wonderfully but no trackpad. Again, I'm on a 2020 Pinebook with Manjaro KDE 20.06. I'm really thinking there's a hardware difference for the 2020 build, and the issue is independent of distro.
Later:
Just reflashed Jack's firmware, and after a shutdown reboot cycle the trackpad is working again. Somehow though, my results are not the same with the keyboard performance. I feel like I'm losing my mind with this thing, but I'm just going back the original solution of new global keyboard shortcuts so I can get back to learning Python.
