Pine’s approach has always felt like they wanted to make the hardware and then hope that the community would sort out of the software for it.

There isn’t a lot of motivation for the community to sort out the software for them when the products aren’t attractive enough to build a community around.

I wish they would narrow their focus, shift some resources into software development, and produce at least one very good product. As it stands, the Pine brand has become associated with buyer beware.

To be fair to them, they at least tell you that software support is largely community provided. However, you probably won't know how that is in practice until you experience it once or twice.

That is fair, they do a good job of warning you up front about it IMHO.

As someone who doesn't run Linux on any of my Pine64 systems, that suits me fine.

What do you run?
