On a related note: I pulled my pinebook pro out of a drawer this week, and spent an hour or so trying to figure out why the factory os couldn’t pull updates.

I guess manjaro just abandoned arm entirely. The options are armbian (probably the pragmatic choice, but fsck systemd), or openbsd (no video acceleration because the drivers are gpl for some dumb reason).

This sort of thing is less likely to happen to rpi, but it’s also getting pretty frustrating at this point.

Er?

https://manjaro.org/products/download/arm explicitly lists the pinebook pro?

		None of the arm mirrors have recent updates. Maybe the LLM was wrong and manjaro completely broke the gpg chain (again), but it spent a long time following mirror links, checking timestamps and running internet searches, and I spent over an hour on manual debugging.

Arch is pretty good on both arm and risc. Run my pis on it for years, including the orange one with rk3588
