  Thanks for that link. I'm looking for updated images for Pine64 (not Pinebook), and all of them on this repository seem to be minimal images (without a desktop environment). Is my understanding correct? I'm looking for one with a desktop environment.

    Yeah, I'm afraid that's the case :/ So you'd have to SSH into your pine64 and install a GUI yourself. Then to enable Mali support (which basically lets the device actually use the GPU to render the screen), you have to add an additional repository: - apt-add-repository ppa:ayufan/pine64-ppa -y - apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-armsoc-sunxi libmali-sunxi-utgard0-r6p0 then you'd run the script to enable it. Probably need root to run it. - exec /usr/local/sbin/pine64_enable_sunxidrm.sh Then in your GUI's settings, you'd disable software compositing (force it to use the Mali GPU instead of the pine's CPU) - System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Windows and disable Enable software compositing. If things go awry, or you have more questions, there's a community IRC that's usually pretty active with people willing to help. http://pine64.xyz/ http://pine64.xyz/
