What's a good image to use now? [tutorial help as well] - frank_philip - 12-16-2024

I'm trying to get my pinebook pro up and running again. What's a good OS to put on it now? Can someone also recommend a video tutorial for how to put a new OS on the pinebook pro?

Armbien is no good. Latest image is not working. When I built my own image, it also didn’t work. I think if I were you I would stick to the stock image.

NetBSD 10 runs very well on the PBP. Though you'll need a small WiFi dongle for now.

If that interests you, I could explain how to get it running. You can get a bootable image from https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/arm/ I wish someone would update the wiki.
The old "Debian Desktop" image still works well, if you can find it.

That's a shame about Armbian; it formerly ran well. Diet Pi did the last time I tried it, too.

That’s a good tip, I will try dietpi.
