## The Pinephone
|
||
|
||
Just recently I bought the [PINEPHONE – Beta Edition with Convergence Package][pinephone I bought] from Pine64 because I wanted to try it out and see how well a full Linux OS gets handled by mobile hardware running an ARM Processor.
|
||
|
||
## Included with Package
|
||
|
||
1. Pinephone

||
### My experience with it
|
||
|
||
**NOTE :** I installed Arch Linux ARM with plasma mobile via [this guide](installing_os_on_pinephone.md).
|
||
|
||
As I had thought going into this, linux running on this hardware is frightfully slow. At the worst of times it may freeze and may just forcefully reset.
|
||
|
||
The UI is also suprisingly nice, aside from the occasional bugs.
|
||
|
||
## Closing Remarks
|
||
|
||
As I learn more about the phone/do more with the phone I will update this accordingly. I'm quite excited to learn what else I can do with the phone, as well as what projects/systems I can make for it.
