Has anyone seen anything like this when booting Linux on a Pocket 3?
Yes, but this is Ubuntu 21.10 and it is EOL. It is also not made by GPD (they just provide a link to the iso). This https://github.com/wimpysworld/umpc-ubuntu is the github with the relevant scripts, mostly made by one person (he also has an interesting youtube channel).

What would be a very small device other than a phone that I could use to have linux on and access the net?
Works with Linux, there are pre-made Ubuntu MATE images or you can see the changes required at: https://github.com/wimpysworld/umpc-ubuntu

Pocket computers and Linux
If you look at the configuration files ( https://github.com/wimpysworld/umpc-ubuntu/ ), you might find it isn't too difficult to transplant to other distributions.

What are Linux options for GPD Pocket 1?
Here's a gitlab with all the scripts you might need. File 80 has the trackpoint config. You may need to reverse install the install script to figure out where it needs to go. Note that if the screen rotation is already correct running the install script will break it.

Possible to Install Stock Manjaro on Pocket 1?
I believe the screen fix can be found in this repository. It's meant for ubuntu, so I usually don't run the script, but go through file by file and change what's needed.
- So I'm having an issue here with my GPD Pocket booting sideways and my Ubuntu Budgie Linux login screen is this way too... Rather annoying and I'm hoping someone can help me. 🙂

Void Linux - getting there!
I'm using https://github.com/wimpysworld/umpc-ubuntu/blob/master/data/99-gpd-pocket3-touch.rules for udev rules, and compiled https://github.com/wimpysworld/umpc-ubuntu/blob/master/data/umpc-display-rotate.c started with i3 and works fine!

Arch to Debian: best practice for managing repos unavailable through apt
deb-get For last resort. But DistroBox and Flatpak will give you all the software you want.

Is there something similar to the AUR for Pop!_OS?
There's no dark magic involved. That software basically has its own repository built in: https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get/blob/main/01-main/README.md

All the problems I had with Pop OS as a user coming from Windows
The first thing I would do here is make sure that your keyboard is set to the correct locale and layout. You can check this under Settings -> Keyboard The next thing to note is that the key code send by laptop keyboards are often proprietary and don't work out of the box. You can use xev / xorg-xev to see what key code is returning and update your key bindings. What is the recommended way to install applications? Ignore the Pop OS shop? Is it an app to app decision? Thank you for the recommendation. Use apt or the pop shop for most things but for proprietary things I'd use deb-get or just download directly. Flatpaks and Snaps are great but doesn't always have the best system level integrations. This is a serious problem with Linux on the desktop in general and I'm looking forward to an os agnostic package format becoming dominate.

Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
Lastly, deb-get + pacstall + bauh. All of these combined covers 99% of my software needs, much less need to find and install PPAs and .deb manually. Still not as convenient as AUR, but much better than it was before. Hopefully, eventually everything is on Flatpak, snap, or AppImage so I could just use Bauh for most apps, but for now, I'm glad that these tools exists.

Want to move to linux
I got my start to Linux with PopOS, and so I will vouch for that. They look good, have good tools, and cares a lot about the desktop experience. Also, they have a built-in recovery partition, so even if you f'd yourself, you can reset from the Settings menu or from the boot menu. It is Ubuntu-based, and be sure to check out deb-get and pacstall for some third-party apps.

apt-get and deb-get is totally different. apt-get is deb default, deb-get is different. Here, read up on it. https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get

I've been using Linux for a week , and i'm starting to like it
Nice. If you're looking for apps on PopOS and other Ubuntu derivatives, you can also use deb-get and pacstall to get certain 3rd party and proprietary apps not in the package manager.
