Novice question: Pinebook Pro does boot (does it?) but black screen
#7
Succes!!!!

First I tried to start it up multiple times as poVoq suggested, but that didn´t give a result. Also hitting Escape as Tophneal suggested didn´t do the trick.

Then I downloaded the archlinux image from https://github.com/nadiaholmquist/archiso-pbp/releases and flashed the image on a USB stick with Balena Etcher, pushed the on-button and bingo, it boots up.

Because as I said in my first post I´m pretty much a novice to Linux and Archlinux is probably at least one bridge to far at the moment, I´m going to try to boot as more ¨less experienced user¨-friendly from SD. 

I´ll probably be back with more questions, but for now  I know at least the PBP is alive!
