James HelfertyBah, my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pinebookpro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pinebookpro</a> seems to be experiencing some swollen battery issues. It was enough that when I took the back cover off to check, one of the screws partially let go. Unfortunately it was one of the hinge ones, which will make closing the lid more delicate going forward I fear. Really hope the consumer space gets more Linux-capable ARM laptops soon. (with US keyboard) Looking like I might need a replacement. :(

Space Hobo<a href="https://sauropods.win/@futurebird" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@futurebird</a> It's not the strangest computer I own or have access to, but it is the strangest one I use for "normal" fediverse access. It's a £100 ARM-based <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/PineBookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PineBookPro</a> I bought back when they were new, and installed <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/PostmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PostmarketOS</a> on. It saved me in a pinch at work when I had a laptop die on me, although I definitely drove it harder than it wanted that day.I'm running absolute nerd-bait stuff on this thing: <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sway</a>, <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/waybar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#waybar</a>, etc. My normal laptop is straight GNOME, usually.

calcifer :nes_fire:<a href="https://masto.hackers.town/@requiem" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@requiem</a> yep! I use openbox on my <a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/PinebookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a> for this reason. Mainstream browsers and “big apps” like LibreOffce are still kinda slow, but everything else is surprisingly snappy.I haven’t even been particularly minimalist about the underlying Manjaro install (like KDE Plasma is an option when I want it)

NetBSD Foundation 🚩Initial support for the USB-C port on the <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PinebookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a> has been committed to current - requires a custom kernel build for now.And support for user/group-based filtering has been added to the NPF firewall!

Space HoboHurg. Just upgraded my <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/PinebookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a> to <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/PostmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PostmarketOS</a> 24.12 and now I can't keep the wifi working for more than a few packets at a time. No firmware changes I can see. Maybe it's the change from iwd to wpa_supplicant? I hate broadcomm chipsets...

Joel P.<a href="https://social.linux.pizza/@selea" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@selea</a> I ran NetBSD 10 on my <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/pinebookpro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pinebookpro</a> for a few months. Unfortunately, the hinge broke on the lid and I was unable to fix (smelled magic smoke too) 🙁 Ran well otherwise.

I might try repairing it, though.

It was the base configuration; a detail I missed when buying it.Most mid-range-to-high-end LCDs are IPS. Only the really cheap stuff is going to be TN, generally.

R. L. Dane (Pixelfed)Ok, now that *REALLY* sucks. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PinebookPro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a>

R.L. Dane :Debian: :OpenBSD: 🍵 :MiraLovesYou:Well, THAT sucks. 🤦‍♂️ <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/pinebookpro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a>

Danct12Feels nice to use the <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PinebookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a> once again.

Patrick Georgi<a href="https://retro.social/tags/niri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#niri</a> on the <a href="https://retro.social/tags/PinebookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a> requires some help to find the right GPU. With the following config snippet, all it shows is a black screen...debug { render-drm-device "/dev/dri/card1" }

R.L. Dane :Debian: :OpenBSD: 🍵 :MiraLovesYou:Was thinking of getting a bigger <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/emmc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eMMC</a> module for my <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/pinebookpro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a>, but the one that was recommended was $50 for 256GiB which is a little... ridiculous.I think I'm just going to wipe the 60GiB stock eMMC with <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/pmos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pmOS</a>, fix up the loose screws, and get a 256GB microSDXC card for extra storage.
