Novice question: Pinebook Pro does boot (does it?) but black screen
#5
If it's Manjaro, try booting it up, and hitting Esc after a few minutes at the black screen. Idk if it's still an issue with an updated Manjaro, but some installs would get stuck at the boot screen until you hit Esc. It was mostly on XFCE installs, but it'd happened with a few KDE installs, too.

Not really. (For now) avoid images using the BSP uboot/kernel. BSP and mainline (installed with Manjaro) don't play together very well. I'd honestly, say grab the SD->emmc installer images of Manjaro (available on osdn.net) so you can use it to quickly and easily update your system in one swoop.
