Pinebook picky with microSD cards?
#3
Use only quality SD card from a reputable source.

We recommend Samsung Evo Plus Class 10 32G cards;  I have four cards that are running flawlessly on my Pinebook (all Samsung Evo Plus) two are 32G and two are 64G.

Burn the cards with a system that verifies the burn was accurate, and always check to make sure that the download of the image worked too.  We recommend Etcher (not Win32DiskImagere) and dcddfl , rather than straight dd.

Most of our problems (Pine, Pinebook, Rock64) are crappy SD cards, or fake SD cards;  always check them and never use an old SD card from back when ...  don't use an SD card that is not Class 10;  

If you get the errors you are describing, discard the SD card and start over with quality cards;

No, the pinebook is not any more or less picky about SD cards then any other system; if you have a good SD card (and a good burn) then you will have a good experience.
