I tested TechHut: «Distro-Hopping a Linux Phone! - How to Flash an OS on the PinePhone»:

I previously tested Megi's multi-boot image for the PinePhone, but it was not a good experience for me personally. This multi boot image was not something I wanted to stay with. It felt like it was only made for testing purposes.
But what was a good experience is how easy it is with Balena Etcher to flash an OS to an the external SD card and boot from there. You can use TechHut's method with Balena Etcher for it. So you can distro hopping by flashing your OS on the external SD card and swapping the SD card.
