technically speaking there is no live distros for pinephone regular and pro. user can install prebuilt image into sdcard and being close to live. there is no direct install from when running sdcard, but re-downloading and using dd command, user can install image into internal memory (emmc).
installers exist, which offers some advantages like full disk encryption.
tow-boot is required and works little differently in pp reg and pp pro.
dominant distros:
- mobian trixie (weekly)
- postmarketos
- archlinux (danct)
user interfaces:
- phosh
- plasma
- sxmo (less recommended)
sxmo is special user interface and not for ordinary users.
generally speaking, all these are more or less buggy, not for beginners.
