Just purchased a used PBP (with no eMMC!) - any tips for a new user?
#6
It will run a little slower on an sd card than the eMMC, however it will run just fine.
My first Pinebook Pro ISO and the second an ANSI model are both currently running from the sd card.

Which OS you eventually put on your eMMC can make a difference if your laptop will continue to boot first from an sd card.
There is some code on the factory eMMC to cause the sd card to boot first.
I think that is missing on 'most' of the operating systems offered on the wiki.

There is lots of information on this in the past older forum posts. (2019-2020)
