Welcome letter - feedback welcome
#2
Excellent! Plenty of people have been a bit confused and sometimes ended up logging in as root and experiencing issues, so I'm sure this will be greatly appreciated. The only thing content-wise that pops out for me is again in the login credentials bit; a few people have been confused when being told to use rock/rock to login, so it might be worth it to explicitly express that the username is rock and the password is rock. Since root login is enabled as root/root, that could also be mentioned.

Less importantly, there are some minor changes I would make to improve readability and other corrections, e.g., wiki not being written with a capital W. I'll copy in the whole thing below with my suggested changes in colour, as that seems the easiest way to go about it.

Quote:Dear Piner,

Congratulations on your new Pinebook Pro! The Pinebook Pro has been created in conjunction with our community of developers and end-users like yourself. 

Our community maintains a well documented wiki found on wiki.pine64.org. The Pinebook Pro wiki section includes information about troubleshooting, available OSs, hardware disassembly, NVMe installation and compatibility, activation of privacy switches, the PCB layout, as well as many other aspects of your device. Make sure to consult it regularly and contribute to it in any way you see fit. 

Anyone with a PINE64 forum account (forums.pine64.org) can contribute to the wiki.      

Here are a few things to get you started: 
To power on your Pinebook Pro, long-press the power button. On initial boot you’ll see a custom Debian PINE64 splash screen, after which the Pinebook Pro will reboot itself. This only occurs upon initial startup. We suggest that you do not plug in any external USB peripherals (USB-C docks, SSD/HDDs, mice, etc.[removed comma]) on the first boot. Once the Pinebook Pro power cycles, you’ll be greeted with a LightDM login screen. 

The default operating system is Debian with a stylized MATE desktop.
Default username: rock
Default password: rock
Default root password: root


You can find out more information about the default Debian build on our forums - the thread is found in the Pinebook Pro section -> General Discussion on the Pinebook Pro -> Default OS update log. 

This thread also provides information on how to update the installation to the newest version, change your username and home directory name, and lists all known bugs and improvements made to the system over time. 

Here is where you get help:
You are welcome to share your experience and ask any questions you may have on our forums and in the PINE64 community chats. The default OS comes with HexChat (IRC client) preinstalled that connects directly to our IRC server. Other chat options are also available and accessible via the Forums and Chats drop-down on our main page (pine64.org). 

Have fun!

Increased the size of the added punctuation to make sure you don't miss it. Feel free to take issue with any of my suggested changes. :-)
