An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro

Or somehow find a compatible exfat.ko file: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffnt&q=%22exfat.ko%22&ia=web

I'll look into the xmixahlx option.

No, exFAT is a completely different file system, and as the name implies it belongs to the FAT family of file systems. There are quite a few features in NTFS that exFAT lacks, e.g. file name index, transparent encryption/compression, journaling, alternate data streams, hard and symbolic links, support for sparse files and extent-based allocation, etc. About the only thing where exFAT is superior to NTFS is that it supports volume sizes in excess of 16EiB, if you have that much storage to support in the first place. And the main reason exFAT came into existence is 4GiB file size limit in FAT32, something that already wasn't a problem in NTFS, except that NTFS has file owners and permissions, making data exchange using removable drives quite a bit of a hassle, plus its journaling means flash drives are subjected to more wear.
