Hey all so I purchased another Pinephone and I want to flash an OS to my microSD card. Previously to flash I used my Mac Laptop and it required an acessory with a USB cable to connect the microsd to the laptop. Now I don't want to use a mac but rather i'd like to use my Pinebook Pro since I am trying to make this my main computer. It does seem that the pinebook Pro has a slot for sd cards but it doesn't appear to have anything for MicroSD cards. Another questions I have is it seems that I can't find Balena Etcher in the pacmac-manager. How do I download it?
How do I get an etcher or a etcher equivalent program on the pinebook pro? I don't want to use other laptops to flash i want to use my pinebook pro
I tried to install the etcher using the build from this link
https://github.com/futurejones/balena-et.../README.md instead of using apt-get i used pacman - Syu balena-etcher-electron because the apt-get command was not found.
What am I doing wrong?
Is there anything equivalent to this that I can use to flash a microsd card using my pinebook pro. Please Help
What operating system are you running on your Pinebook Pro ?

I'm not sure. Whatever the default operating system I got when I purchased it from this site.
Where do I check what I operating system is?
My Pinebook Pro's were from the first batch(ISO) and second batch(ANSI),
I think Pine64 has changed the operating systems that it ships "pre-installed" since then.
I would think it should be listed on the "Start-up" or "splash screen" ?
I am planning on updating both of mine to the mainstream 'Debian Arm64' pretty soon.

I ordered my pinebook pro and it came a few months ago I think it came in June 2020. I have also found the Operating system information in the information center. Here's what I found
Manjaro-ARM
Software
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1
Kernel Version: 5.7.19-1-MANJARO-ARM
OS Type: 64-bit
Hardware
Processors: 6 x
Memory: 3.7 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mali T860
Please note I have no idea what any of that meant not KDE plasma version, not KDE Frameworks or Kernel Version or anything LOL I wouldn't mind if someone explained all that to me.
