The Pine phone can run any operating system from a micro sd card with No Effect on the system that is installed on the
"Factory installed eMMC operating system".
I recommend testing using just a 8 or 16gb sd card, these are cheap, they can be used repeatedly, and if you need to zero wipe
your sd card.... it takes much less time to zero wipe a smaller sd card.
Some forum members have reported it 'can be hard to record over the Manjaro operating system', SO..
Say you want to try flashing Arch to your sd card after trying Manjaro,
it may not work just recording over the Manjaro image, but MAY require a zero wipe first.
Most of the time, just flashing without a zero wipe DOES work, but ... sometimes it is necessary to do a zero wipe first.
AGAIN : testing operating systems running from an sd card, will Not effect your system that is installed to your eMMC,
............ simply remove the sd card and your phone will again run from the operating system installed to the eMMC.
