    So I received an email from Pine64 on this matter:

    “Does to double Ethernet height, currently only acrylic enclosure available. the Rockpro64 Premium Aluminum casing not suitable for Star64 SBC.”

    Guess no NVME option at the moment as the acrylic case is too short for that.

    So there is a happy ending. I called the Customer Accounts Team at Mouser. They couldn’t explain why the order was cancelled but sent me an email link to verify the credit card used.

  • I use BTRFS on my Artix system, Ext4 on my Librem 5, Ext4 on my Devuan laptop and Ext4 on my Pinebook Pro. Basically when given the choice in the installer I choose BTRFS but if the installer doesn’t let me pick I don’t care enough to manually partition. I have had no negative experiences with any file system luckily so I just roll with whatever.
