Wrote: So far this is the best setup I've tested out of Manjaro KDE 20.02.1 and the default Debian Mate. Browser is silky smooth and suspend works really well. Once there's a beta image for Fedora 32 I'll be the first to test it. I have no doubt this will be the go-to distro for Gnome users once it comes out next month.
On Reddit, someone told me that these images should work on the PBP, but I haven't had any luck yet: https://arm.fedoraproject.org/
Should I be waiting for an PBP-specific image?
Yeah, I haven't had much luck with the "official" images either, but this one works.
I wouldn't wait. I installed in on the eMMC and then updated to Fedora 32. It flies!!!
To update to 32 once installed this is what you need:
1.sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
Reboot
2.sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
3.sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=32
That's it.
The easiest way to install to eMMC is this:
Get your Pinebook Pro to boot from any SD operating system - Debian, Manjaro, anything. Just make sure it's from an SD. Then download the image linked in this thread via the wiki.
Open a terminal and from the same folder/directory you downloaded the image run:
sudo xzcat fedora-pinebookpro-gnome-0.8.img.xz | sudo dd bs=4M of=/dev/mmcblkX iflag=fullblock oflag=direct status=progress; sync
To find the "X" for your command above, run "lsblk" first to get the list. You want the one that points to the eMMC, not the SD card.
It will take a while but once finished the PBP off and take out the SD card and reboot. Follow the rest of the instructions on how to resize the fs, etc from the OP and then see my comment before on how to upgrade to Fedora 32. Enjoy!!!
wds@pinebookpro ~$ uname -a
Linux pinebookpro 5.5.0-pbpro-fedora-5.5.0 #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 1 13:04:44 EST 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
This is still the kernel from the initial fc31 install that I have been running for a few months now.
