As was just verified, the arm64 UEFI variant of the Window Maker Live Linux distribution based on Debian/Trixie boots just fine on towboot enabled Pinebook Pro. This also includes the graphical debian installer routine, avoiding the need to bother with the awkward serial console for installations. I didn't complete a full installation yet on my own bare metal PBP because the machine needed for development is not suitable also for testing, and all installation testing has been done only in qemu so far.

Before you start downloading the ISO image for trying it out yourself, be aware that with the exception of the freely usable i386 version, the ISO images for both arm64 and amd64 are distributed as encrypted 7z archives which require a password to unpack them. Due to personal circumstances i am currently not in the position to just give away the fruits of my time and efforts investment without asking for a return. Until it will finally be publically disclosed at the end of this year, this password is therefore provided only to people who are donating some cash to the project.
On the other hand, the sources to enable people to build any variant of the ISO themselves are, of course, readily available. So if you can't afford even any minimal donation and don't want to wait for the public password disclosure at the end of the year, you can simply create your own custom ISO image.
For interested people who are contributing any publically accessible open source work themselves, the password will be freely provided without any donation requirement. Please contact me privately if this is of interest for you.
