Pinebook is going the way of Betamax?

What's wrong with the nand-sata-install feature that can also install to eMMC? The name might seem a bit counter-intuitive, but that's the name it has given it's origins, and it's also availbly as a menu option in armbian-config.

For my pinebook, I try the more recent images every now and then, and would really like to go with Manjaro ARM, but until the issue with it not charging properly is fixed, it's a no-go for me (for an eMMC install, anyway). I will have to try again, as there has been another mainline kernel release since I tried last. For my regular eMMC install, I've stuck with ayufan's ubuntu builds... can't remember if I upgrade to bionic or not, or stuck with xenial. It might be old, but it is an LTS build, and still works well.
