Need to write a blog post explaining what PINE64 actually is and how it works because I find that many are unaware that PINE64 is two separate entities.

TLDR:
* PINE64 is a project that consists of the company and community.

* Pine Store LTD is the company that manufactures PINE64 hardware. They provide documentation, schematics and SDK.

* The PINE64 Community creates software for Pine Store hardware.

* The community manager role is a bridge between the community and company. Is not a role hired by the company nor do I have any final say over Pine Store decisions.

I should probably also finish a community update at some point but I'm busy enjoying travelling around Germany too much.

#pine64

For some reason I have decided that daily driving the PinePhone Pro for a month is a good idea. With encouragement from the PINE64 community chatrooms, I am prepared to endure this potential pain. For science!!!

Before we get into things, here are some ground rules and boundaries that I wish to lay out for potential readers.

1. My employment requires an app that doesn’t work, even with MicroG. I will have my Android device with me for this reason, but my primary SIM will be in the PinePhone Pro.

2. No Android apps, Waydroid or Android translation layer. I must use native and Flatpak Linux apps.

3. My primary SIM must be in the PinePhone Pro for the duration of the month.

(rules subject to change, I think)

This thread will continue to get updated every day/few days when I can.

Hopefully this goes fine /s
