Nope, I was hopping to get more clues on the issue before buying another card
Buying another microSD to test seems like a relatively cheap way of finding out whether the card is at fault or not.
How are you shutting down the Pine? Via the software menu activated by a short press of the power button, or just by pulling out the power cord?
Incorrect shutdown procedure can lead to a card getting corrupted. MicroSD cards are very susceptible to this.
The card also needs to have good random read/write speeds. Many cards, even modern ones, are only good at linear reads and writes. This is fine for simply uploading and downloading media to and from the card, but running an operating system requires more complexity than this and so needs to be efficient when it comes to random read/write performance. Some cards just can't handle it.
