Just purchased a used PBP (with no eMMC!) - any tips for a new user?
Hello, I purchased a used Pinebook Pro but the seller is removing the eMMC due to their privacy concerns. I don't believe I'll be able to talk them out of removing it. Am I in for a world of hurt? I'm fairly familiar with Linux and comfortable installing hardware.
I understand it can boot from SD, but there seem to be a lot of threads with problems here. Is booting from an SD card reliable?
The laptop already has the optional NVMe adapter installed (but no drive), but I understand booting from this requires some flashing/modification of the boot chip.
Would it be more sensible to purchase the 64 GB eMMC (in stock currently) and the USB-A to eMMC module?
Thanks!
