Okay, I FINALLY had to make an account because I am totally confused and dumfounded with Pinebook Pro.
One of my friends came by the other day and actually introduced it to me. At first I thought it was just a chromebook until I did some digging and saw how nifty it actually was. So as I'm digging around, I'm reading how I can install a bunch of linux operating systems. Hell yea....
But now the problem is... I guess I just really don't understand how the hell tp. I've done plently of Google and YouTube searches. Scrolled and scrolled through threads on your forum, but I am still at a lost....
It had Fedora on it right now, but the password to the account is unknown. Tried and tried to find ways to bypass it but from what I'm gathering is imma have to install another OS? (Let me know if I'm wrong)
After reading around a bit, I finally get the bottom of my PBP off, locate the eMMC switch (And some other one. Forgot the name)
Now, I'm pretty sure the I had to push the switch from TOP to BOTTOM to disable the eMMCwhatever. Cool. Got that handled. But now when I try to boot from SD (Should be as simple as inserting it and booting up, right?)
Well, that's where I'm stuck. No power, notta, nothing. But as soon as I remove the SD card, it boots right up to Fedora.
Any help would be awesome!
