			Using devuan ARM & debian ARM, xfce4. Did not test Video out. USB and SD card readers work. Ethernet is working at full speed. The Docking Deck is able to negotiate USB-C 9V 1.6A and convert to 5V 2.5A for the PBP. No charging issues; the PBP makes some noise, but that isn't the docking deck's fault. Audio out is working. Note that adding another audio device obviates the need for the audio device default to be restored on reboot, which did not work on xfce4. 9/10.

	On some Linux systems, and possibly all of them, the volume range for headphones from audible to loud is from 64562-64575 to 65000. That's absolute, not percentages. This is an extremely tiny range -- completely impossible to navigate with percentages, and dangerous as well. For the time being, this audio output should be treated as unsafe for human health, as well as the health of your speakers.

To ensure safe audio levels, users can switch to the digital output to lower the volume to a safe level.

	It has been observed in the past that the Pinebook Pro is somewhat temperamental when used with the USB-C dock. Sometimes it will not charge when connected to its dock, even if the dock is powered from the official Pinepower power supply (i.e., even when it is provided with sufficient power). The more astute may have surmised that the Pinebook Pro was powering the dock, rather than being powered itself. The solution, luckily, is quite simple. The following command should always work:		It has been observed in the past that the Pinebook Pro is somewhat temperamental when used with the USB-C dock.
