I managed to try out the Arm64 build of EndeavourOS on my Pinebook Pro. Install worked like a charm. Simply burned the image to the EMMC module, booted the laptop up, and followed the prompts. Only thing I found lacking was no option for FDE during install. Hopefully it's something that can be added in at some point. In any case it's nice to have more options for OS on the Pinebook Pro. Maybe they can get an image working for the RockPro64 or if they were interested in going RISC-V the Star64 or HiFive Unmatched.
The main website for EndeavourOS is here:

I have not felt the need to buy a Ubisoft game for years but here's a good video showing that Ubisoft is still putting terrible concepts into their games.
This week's donation went to Steven Barrett also known as "damentz". He's a developer that is the Maintainer of the Liquorix Kernel and co-maintainer of the Zen Kernel among other projects. The Liquorix Kernel is designed for responsiveness in interactive systems, enabling low latency compute in A/V production, and reduced frame time deviations in games. Some distros that use the Liquorix and Zen kernels include Nitrux and Garuda.
Steven has a profile on Github:

Particularly in the last few years, the amount of distrust towards projects using dual-licensing with a CLA has grown significantly.
Without changing licensing models, are there any steps you would need to see such a project take in order for you to confidently support and contribute to it? Or is it fundamentally impossible to reconcile with these practices, even begrudgingly?

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
