And no, you can't [use] the USB for your PC ubuntu to load ubuntu onto the pine64 - they are not compatible. It would be like trying to load the x86 ubuntu onto a PowerPC (Apple) computer - it just will not work. 

The image that you load on your SD card must be an Arm binary specifically for arm64. While you can run arm32 it is not recommended.

A binary image for any other processor type will not work;  including x86, PPC, iOS, and others.  

Having clarified that a bit;  the main point of my addition here is that you can build images for the pine board ( arm64 ) by cross-compiling. You can build the image on an x86 machine to create an arm64 binary !  Other OS(s) can be used for cross-compile too. 

But, if you download an image for the pine board it needs to be an arm64 ( processor type ) image !

Confused   clear as mud ?
