Problem with pinebook is that there are distro's around to test but they seem
to like the 3.10 kernel too much and update all but the kernel. The linux
headers they ship are for 4.x and 5.x so no use for compiling the kernel
module itself.

Can you recommend a lightweigth linux distro with nilfs support that runs fast
in `unaided' Qemu?  I.e. with only the `tcg' acceleration and with no
graphics?

Thanks in advance,
