## Source excerpt

With thousands of Pinebook Pro laptops and PinePhone smartphones shipping in the next days and weeks, I felt that a short introductory blog post aimed at newcomers was in order. To this end, the primary purpose of this entry is to give you an overview of all the resources at your disposal. Shipping Information and Updates You can follow the shipping progress of both devices in a dedicated PINE64 forum thread. I will update the thread on a need-be basis as new information becomes available. Support and Info teams receive the same status updates that I post on the forum, so there is no need to email them for general shipping queries. If your device ships using DHL Express, then you'll most likely be notified of shipment via SMS and/or email immediately as your order gets scanned into the DHL database. You will also receive a shipping confirmation email from us in days following the DHL shipping notification. If your PinePhone ships via Asendia then you'll receive your tracking number directly from us. Due to the high volume of shipments, it may take a couple of days before the dispatch team emails you your shipping number. Please be patient. The Pinebook Pro With Manjaro KDE Plasma A quick PSA first**:** the factory left the WiFi privacy switch (as well as potentially also other privacy switches) turned ON during testing on some Pinebook Pro laptops, so you may have to disable the switch to re-enable WiFi**.** We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. The Pinebook Pro ships with Manjaro which features the KDE Plasma desktop. Manjaro is a phenomenal Linux distribution with an equally great and thriving community. The developers are our friends and colleagues, and they can be reached on their and our forums as well as in our chats. To learn more about the Manjaro build which ships with your Pinebook Pro please see the following: PINE64 Manjaro forum thread Manjaro PInebook Pro Tips & Tricks forum thread For more general information about Manjaro Linux distribut
