I've been looking ata the Pinebooks, as wells as the Pinephone.  I set up a
Rock64 sbc to run a display for anon-profit I help out with, and it's been
running solid.  So far I've had better performance running Armbian over
Ubuntu MATE, however I'm curious to see how the Manjaro based phone OS will
work.
