Hi everyone!
I want to know more about Manjaro ARM with Pineteb2. I already know where to find the ISO images, but I want to know about Manjaro ARM’s support for ARM applications and ×86_64 to ARM emulation, since the programs I’m using they don’t have an ARM version.
Thanks to everyone for your time 
If the softwares are not proprietary: try to compile them for aarch64, otherwise box64 remains, or as a last resort, the Windows versions via Wine/box64.
A general forum search that might be of interest:
A year ago, there was effectively one person working on Pine64 devices, and (from observation) that doesn’t seem to have changed all that much in the past year. That said, please research this for yourself, and draw your own conclusions.
Regards.
I bought a Pinetab2 - and sold it off a few months later - back then it was way too much work - especially the WiFi was a hair pulling experience.
It is likely to have gotten better - I certainly hope so - mine came with Dreemurrs Embedded Labs · GitHub.
There is no x86_64 emulation like you get with Apple or Microsoft Windows - if you rely heavily on emulation - don’t buy a Pinetab2 - stick to the mainstream.
Raspberry Pi is well supported with Manjaro ARM - as for all other variations - check with ArchLinux ARM - Manjaro relies on packages provided by the ArchLinux ARM maintainers.
I have a pinebook pro - and a pinephone pro - they are just paperweights to me…
I plan to add support for one tablet in Manjaro, but it will take a long time, and I’m just getting started:
In fact, it is unknown how long it will take and whether it will be possible to achieve everything that has been planned.
This Teclast p85t tablet costs only 400 RMB. There are similar tablets with this processor, but then you have to do a lot of things yourself.
The processor is very good for its price, it is more powerful than rk3566, and in some tasks it outperforms rpi5 (but mostly it still loses).
