Well i have Pinebook Pro and it's pretty much abandonware, pine doesn't do any software and OSS lacks maintainers, nobody want's it, e-waste laptop. Take it as you will.


Don't they warn you on the product page that you are buying hardware that is fully reliant on the community for functionality? That's the reason it's so inexpensive


Yeah, that's nonsense. Pinebook Pro is well supported by Linux kernel and you can thus put any aarch64 Linux distro on it. And it's been this way for the last 3-4 years at the very least.

I've been using it daily for 3 years for watching movies and main notebook while traveling.

It's not at all abandonware or e-waste.
