Now Arch Linux ARM Runs on PINE64’s PineTab Linux Tablet

Early adopters of PINE64’s PineTab will be happy to learn that there’s now a build of the Arch Linux ARM distribution that works on the Linux-powered tablet. Just like Mobian Linux, it would appear that Arch Linux ARM has adopted Purism’s Phosh (Phone Shell) mobile UI to provide users with a modern, GNOME-based graphical interface on the PineTab. Of course, being the first build for the PineTab Linux tablet, you should expect some things not work properly or at all. For example, sound doesn’t work. Also, SSH is disabled in this build for security reasons.
