From quozl at laptop.org Wed Mar 18 23:42:39 2020 From: quozl at laptop.org (James Cameron) Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2020 14:42:39 +1100 Subject: Pinebook 1080p with Sugar 0.117 and Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic for arm64 Message-ID: <20200319034239.GD7503@laptop.org> I've received a donation of a 11.6" Pinebook Linux Laptop from the PINE64 Community. This sub-$100 laptop performs nicely for the price. It can be charged over USB. The laptop came with Ubuntu 18.04 and KDE Neon. A very functional desktop environment. Sugar 0.117 can be used. The Sugar packages for OLPC OS on Ubuntu 20.04 were rebuilt on the Pinebook and then installed. Some performance timings; 1. boot time to login prompt, 30 seconds, 2. login to Sugar, 13 seconds, 3. wake from sleep to Sugar, 2 seconds, 4. activity start, 5 seconds.

Calligra is a fun activity to help kids learn cursive writing: letters, numbers or figures. You could even create your own figures! - Falabracman activity: It was one of children favorite Sugar activities all over the world since its creation in 2008 in Brazil. The addictive Falabracman game is back. Learn words by collecting all the letters in the right order. - Piano mode in TamTam activity: Choose your instrument then display a small piano keyboard to play your favorites melodies using this instrument. Never been so easy to play music. - Set time mode in Clock activity: Set clock hands by yourself or play to find the hand position matching a specific time. - Smartphone support: Of course a smartphone is not the ideal device for Sugarizer but we can't ignore an opportunity to learn. So most activities propose now a full screen mode to be easily usable on small screens. - Tutorial everywhere: You've got a doubt about features of an activity? Now every activities include a full tutorial to explain how it works step by step. - Improved stability: more than 100 fix and update on Sugarizer and activities. A short animation of these features is visible here: https://youtu.be/kwhvWROHb2Q Teachers use Sugarizer in 30 schools today. If it's good for them, why not for your children?
