PINE64

So a while back I managed to break the stock Neon OS when trying to switch from Plasma to something else. There was some change I did to systemctl and it broke it. It will boot to a command prompt. I set it aside and ignored it for a while.

I know Neon has been out of style for a while so I don't know how much effort I should put into fixing it, or should I just put something else on it?

I'm noticing that there isn't a nice list of "mainstream" Linux operating systems for it like there is for the Pinebook Pro, which sucks.

Is there an OS I can install onto it without it being to hacky to get it working? I just want something I can use instead of having to tinker with all the time.

At the moment I'm using NetBSD from a SD card but I have to use a different WiFi adapter.

Thanks!

They are community builds, not official, but Armbian will likely be a solid bet for getting an OS you don't have to tinker with, getting up and going quickly.

I installed Armbian with XFCE onto an SD card and it's not perfect but it works. Pretty neat. I'm typing this on it right now. Thanks.
