I think we could work on developing installation images. As I keep reading, most of the boards support to boot from sd cards and can use the mmc to boot and run the os.
I have not seen any effort on distributions with ARM support to prepare the equivalent from x86 world. I guess it is because of this ARM based devices are not all respecting an identical booting procedure like x86.
After my pinebook pro arives, I will start to investigate what is needed for getting a minimal instalation of Archlinux ARM using a SD card to MMC and also NVME as a must. If I have success, any other distro with ARM support could be handled.
Current way of using prebuilt images it reminds me of early days of Linux distros...
