Disappointing.

[cefre00]

I have my PBP pre-installed with Manjaro KDE, which I like for the most part. Though this boot thingy is a bit worrying. Now I had to press the button to boot like 5 times before I saw the botting pic of Manjaro, though I believe I dd-d the mrfixit2001 uboot files.

Is it a worrying sign or I should ignore this?
BTW if there a noob safe way to install something debian based?

 
  I would suggest the Pine stores 'usb to eMMC adapter' as a noob method to install a new OS on your eMMC
    that is what I used when I bought a new 128gb eMMC from the Pine store.

 mrfixit's Debian/mate is available now

Mobian may be available now,    or will soon be available.

 *   Hope that Helps ?    B.C.

  ( of course you should 'test drive' any OS from an SD card before installing it to your eMMC )

Sure you did, thank you!
I'll look this up in detail...
