hello lainons, thoughts on the pinebook pro?(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST, Please elaborate on what you want to discuss and why you are asking about pinebook pro, as it stands this opening post is soykaf and Rule 4 violation.)

I'm posting from one. The hardware is good, but the default operating system is like kicking dead whales down the beach, and good luck getting a good one on it. I hate that my Thinkpads' fans kept failing, but Thinkpads have a wide variety of operating system choices and other such things. My main Thinkpad doesn't have a working fan, but I've kept it running for over half a year; my Pinebook Pro is lucky to stay up a week without requiring a hard reset for no reason. I can't figure out how to have it fsck at boot, either, so it's slowly destroying the operating system; this first happened when I decided to use it for real work, so I've not made that mistake since then. Until and if the software situation ever becomes fixed, just get an old Thinkpad instead.

>>61212 i don't really see the point of it when you can just restore an x131e or something for dirt cheap. iirc the hardware is even weaker than that of the pi 4 and the OS support is also worse. it's a cool concept but i don't really think it's practical.

Arch on a PBP has been my daily driver for a year. Works like a dream.
