How to install opensuse on Pinebook pro
#1
Hi,

I am trying to install opensuse on my pinebook pro and feel stupid for asking this ... but how ?

I downloaded the iso from https://github.com/smithmcgriff/openSUSE-on-pinebookpro
and then I put it on an sd card.

My pbp boots from it but all I get is a terminal. I think it just boots from the sd card but how do I get the image to install on the internal drive in the pinebook pro?

Also a small side question:
How bad of an idea is it to simply get the aarch64  image from opensuse (https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/tumbleweed) and install that on the pbp?

There are some tips in this thread:

You can just write the original opensuse version to a sd card and try if it works. You won’t damage anything that way. I guess you still need to do some configuration though. Also it depends which kernel opensuse is using, currently development in the Pinebook Pro area is very vibrant, so every new kernel offers a bjt more out of the box.
