   It is time to reinstall my #pinebookpro

   What distro should I use? I currently use debian with an older kernel, but it would be nice to be more up to date.

   I mostly use the terminal on it, so no fancy GUI needed (not fancy, but basic atleast)

   Ideas?

     @selea I recommend Fedora as a nice stable base, it’s reasonably up to date with source.

     If you want the knifes edge, Arch is my recommendation.

     Does Fedora work with the PineBook Pro?

     @selea yes I also run that. Small, lightweight, supports the h/w just fine.

     @fedops

     Nice, I'll look into it. I just want something simple and easy to maintain. The pinebook are basically turning into a console for my lab-environment. I think it is perfect for that :)

     @selea should be some Armbian builds with a fresher mainline kernel

     @selea Budgie or XFCE for a desktop environment would be lightweight and yet look nice.

     @selea Arch is an obvious answer I think.
