@KC9UDX Do you have any recommendations for how to make a backup I can reinstall if the System were to fail in part or completely fail to boot?
I remember reading a post last year, when I'd first (finally) gotten this system working that suggested not updating it when the device was functioning because there's a notable chance the updates would make it unstable. Maybe I should leave it alone. It works ok. I don't ask for much. It's ocassionally glitchy. All I was thinking to do was get a better e-mail & calendar program (as if it were 20 years ago), but maybe I should stop messing with it which would be too bad because I originally bought this to mess around with, but I no longer have another functioning device.
I found that old post I was remembering. It is https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=17600 in reference to Manjaro/ Plasma so maybe updating Arch/ Phosh would go better. I'll be cautiously optimistic.
