Apparently, it was a big loss and probably won't ever come back in stock.

As someone who's been following #pinenote for the last ~3 years this isn't true, it's "not dead yet" but Pine64 refuses to ship a second batch until they have a stable community distro to ship pre-flashed. Currently the hardware support itself is sorted, and the desktop integration just needs to be sorted out.

That's great to hear!

I'll be first in line to buy when they do a second batch.
