So what is the standard OS for the Pinebook Pro?

Also is flashing that OS on through micro SD the best method for a fresh install.

Thanks for reading, any help is appreciated!

I just installed PostMarketOS on my PineBookPro. Easy and painless. Wifi works, I have not tried much more yet.

Get image, unzip image, put on SD, put in PineBookPro.
Boot off SD, Get image again on PineBookPro, unzip image, dd to the eMMC
Turn off PineBook, take SD out, Turn on PineBookPro
