Debian.
Yeah it was unfortunate because of their (basically) no returns policy I didn’t want to roll the dice on a second one.
Armbian was the most promising when I had mine, but still wasn’t ready. I just couldn’t get into manjaro, but every time I loaded a new OS the screen would die, come back, flciker and a “shadow” around the perimeter of the screen.
I remember getting a PineBook Pro when it came out. Seemed like a great machine but the screen failed in less than a week. Thankfully they refunded me but it was disappointing.
Any mainstream distro should work I feel like. I’m not familiar with Fedora Silverblue so I can’t say anything about it.
I’ve also never had any issues with my laser Brother printer.
This is why I recommend Mint with Cinnamon DE. Same reasons. It’s always interesting to see someone come to a different conclusion with the same reasoning. 🙂
