Unsure how to install, help needed
#4
Ok, so I got it to work finally. The documentation for PostmarketOS could be better.
My solution (if anyone finds this post and has the same issue).

1: Created first partition on SD card with 128mb size, ext4.
2: Created second partition of remaining size, ext4.
3: Ran python3 pmbootstrap.py install --fde --sdcard=/dev/sdc

Although installed plasma-desktop on it, wasn't the best idea apparently.

I tried clearing out ~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/ and re-running the installation but it quits:
[22:00:15] WARNING: The chroots and git repositories in the work dir do not get updated automatically.
[22:00:15] Run 'pmbootstrap status' once a day before working with pmbootstrap to make sure that everything is up-to-date.
[22:00:15] Done!

This without flashing the SD etc.
What can I do to start over?

Well, solution was easy.
Don't follow the wiki, just grab img from https://images.postmarketos.org/pinephone/ and flash to SD. That solved everything.
