Has anyone been able to get Arch to work on a PB? I know they have a version of Manjaro, so I'm curious about what the install/life is like for a typical Arch setup.

Working with a similar device (PineTab) the experience is awesome. Once you get it installed you can just install any setup you like.

Interesting! How much are you able to stick with the wiki for an install, are there any parts that require more specific, possibly a bit non-trivial to acquire, knowledge (as in, not available on the wiki)?

I literally just downloaded the SD card image, flashed it, then put it into the device and it booted. After that I knew where I was at after grabbing the default login details.

Currently running a custom version of wm2 which built more for touch devices: https://github.com/danielbarry/oakwm/

It's been a while, but a few months ago I used this image [0] and it worked great.
