My pbp arrived a few days ago. The stock image it ships with seemed a little laggy, probably due to aggressive cpu throttling for power. Since I'm interested in encrypted disks I knew I would be installing a new OS from the get-go.
Desiring LUKS basically rules out image-based distribution, so to find a compatible installer this [0] page was useful. I opted for straight Debian (bullseye). This amounts to a script wrapping debootstrap that adds in the local firmware and kernel patches. I was required to use a sufficiently fast and large microSD card (16 GB+). As reported on [1] and in the dedicated thread [2] there are a few small issues:
* firefox does indeed crash in the way described, though I expect this will resolve itself after an upstream update
* The brightness up/down keys do not work, though they do in the base image
* I've encountered issues with the wifi getting wedged after resuming from sleep.
Still, on the whole it seems snappier than the base image, and the track pad latencies issues I noticed there don't seem to manifest here.

- herogreen 7y agoRegarding the trackpad latency, have you seen that there is an update for it ? https://forum.pine64.org/announcements.php?aid=23 https://forum.pine64.org/announcements.php?aid=23 while it is more about the mouse moving while you are typing, it may help in your case.
