Debian 9.9. A lot of custom work has gone into this image, so there really wasn't time to update it for Buster.
Here is the image: https://github.com/mrfixit2001/debian_desktop/releases
Can I get a pinebook pro shipped with Manjaro KDE preinstalled? And is the KDE desktop too heavy for the pro? Which distros are LTS? I'm fairly new to Linux but have been reading my butt off.
Regarding modifying the installation before shipping, no, but you can install it yourself when your PBP arrives. I hear good things about KDE Plasma's resource consumption these days but don't have first hand experience.
Also, mind you, it will take some time for third-party projects to put out OS images for the PBP. Some may take weeks while others may take months. Some ... more than that. But I suspect that Armbian, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Kali Linux and a potentially a few others will be available before the end of the year.
