Debian (or ubuntu) on a micro sd card (pinebook pro)

I have a micro sd card that I want to install Debian (or Ubuntu in case Debian doesn't work) and directly boot and use it as my primary storage space (it is 256gb so would be sufficient).

How can I achieve this? I have not tried this before; so, any help would be appreciated.

You can find links to images here: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=...re_Release
And here are the instructions to write to a micro SD card: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB#I...D_on_Linux

If you need a video, here is one example with Manjaro (but should provide enough information for any other image): https://youtu.be/zvvUW2gG7UI''s
Updated commands are in the description of the video.
Once the image is written, it's a good custom to do: sync

I have seen with one micro SD card that something did not work as expected.
But I could fix that with GParted: https://youtu.be/2910b-yris8[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2910b-yris8][/url]
