Yep, works very similar to the pi400. I remember I ad to do some tweaking but nothing major.
Did the tweaking mostly consist of changes to config.txt? Would you mind sharing yours and anything else easy? Thanks in advance.
Yes it was mostly config file and display related if I remember correctly. Unfortunately it was something I was trying and did not keep Zynthian on it. It’s now my Android desktop device.
My Pi400 still has zynthian on it for that weird project I took on but I don’t believe that sharing the config would be of use.

This guy makes is possible and easy to do. Lineage OS is great. You can install Google play store and everything.
And now they’ve added the NVME drive and a mechanical keyboard to make the 500+ for $200:

A definitely lovely kit, a tempting desire for the coming Xmas: I can already see it with custom keycap colours shaded to my taste… 
With 16 Gb of RAM and built-in nvme, what’s not to be liked? 
I have one of these turning up soon….

Looks promising, and with nice specs!
