About the Pinebook - What to expect

[pfeerick]

Ayufans Ubuntu build does not have the screen tearing issues !!!
Edit: his latest build includes fixes for most things -- I have amended the bug thread (crossed most things out) as for now you should probably use his ubuntu build. 

I second that I tried it out on a microSD card last night, and was pleasantly surprised that the sound worked perfect OOTB and screen tearing was gone. It did 'feel' a little rough/jerky, but that was probably the microSD not performing as well as the eMMC. However, full-screen video playback is no longer possible, and I think 1:1 video playback was harder on the pinebook than for the original image. However, I fully understand that this is a pre-release image, so things can and will break. I take my hat off to Ayufan (or I would if I had one on ) for the hard work he is doing, and I look forward to future builds  I see he's been busy adding more stuff just in the last few hours for bluetooth support and install to eMMC... nice!

Oh, and yes, as Ayufan said... the hall effect sensor for detecting lid closure just works OOTB in the 0.3.1 build I tried last night (it just wasn't auto-loaded in the earlier releases).

I was going to open an issue to note this, but arufan hasn't enabled that on his repo - the boot logo is for the for the android build.  Hopefully can can be replaced with the pinebook one at some point? Fixed somewhere between 0.3.1 and 0.3.5
