Thanks I will purchase one of those. I have Manjaro KDE installed now and PINEbook Pro works. Several people in live discord chat guided me through install.
I had to fix Permissions for Etcher inside Windows Virus Settings to allow it to make Micro SD card. then was able to make 2 working SD cards both with Armbian on them
a 16GB and a 32GB MicroSD worked ( I used the XFCE version here https://www.armbian.com/pinebook-pro/ ) .
Booted into Armbian, and then used some commands to download and install Manjaro KDE to the EMMC (where it was corrupted).
I also successfully made a 8GB MicroSD in Etcher, but for whatever reason , it refused to boot in the PBP (maybe it's too small to actually work).
I don't know the minimum size for MicroSD card you need but only 16GB and up booted for me.
