Packages from Official Repositories?

[stefan.schumacher]

Hello,

there is one thing I have not yet understood completely. I have seen that new images for the Pinebook Pro are constantly being built (ayufan's Ubuntu images).

What I do not yet understand: Can I update my Installation with normal packages from the official debian / armbian repositories once after installing the image?

I am mainly asking because a) I would like to be able to install security updates and of course b) I would like to install software from the huge repositories kept by debian. Can I upgrade the kernel or would I have to patch it first and then compile one myself? (I know how to do this also I haven't done this in a looong time. The debian kernels always include everything I need in server and desktop.

Yours sincerely
Stefan

Both the Ubuntu and Debian images only have custom kernels, the rest should be packages from their respective repositories...
