Has anyone tried installing Peppermint 10 OS? What other OS have you tried with the Pinebook Pro? What issues have you had?

There is a list in the wiki of OSes that should work (mostly anyway) just by loading on an sd card.

 If you are handy under the hood, you could likely make some others work.

Personally I like the original OS,  be sure to run all the updates,  they fix most of the shortcomings.

Peppermint wiki says that its only x86 32/64bit, so no - it won't run on the PBP.

That preview is very old. The PBP is now officially supported since 19.12
