Personally, I'd recommend installing Tow Boot to SPI (https://tow-boot.org/devices/pine64-pinebookPro.html) and then Fedora to eMMC (https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/f...h64.raw.xz) It was incredibly easy for me to install despite using outdated installation documentation (no longer needed, just write Tow Boot to SPI, write the installer to SD, boot from SD, and start installing!) By F36/7 everything's been working wonderfully!

Armbian is also easy to install, as well as Arch (thanks to archinstall)

If you want to check out what your other options are, you can find them here: https://pine64.org/documentation/Pineboo.../Releases/
