What OS have you recently flashed onto PBP eMMC?
#1
I hate to post this generic question.

I just got mine yesterday and it was running Manjaro KDE Plasma out of the box. I temporarily bricked my PBP trying to flash the generic Manjaro ARM Team image from here, using this process.

I think this borked my eMMC as I had troubles booting anything afterwards.

I was able to get something working using Kali/Armbian and now PostmarketOS. Kali didn't have WiFi, Armbian couldn't get past the initramfs/busy box (because laptop keyboard wouldn't work).

I'm using PostmarketOS now which I was able to write to the eMMC using their installer image/balena etcher and boot.

Issue is I don't really want to stick with Alpine just because of the package manager/issues... eg. I want VS Code.

I would like to get Manjaro back but I keep having problems trying to run it. I tried this one:
https://github.com/manjaro-arm/pbpro-images/releases

And while it boots, it goes into kernel panic (yellow/green power led flashing).

I also tried manjaro-arm-installer, I used my Pinephone Pro to write it onto SD card.
I went through the interactive guide, but in the end it also would not boot from SD card.

I wish Armbian worked with regard to wanting to use apt.
