Thanks for the clarification. Switching off the eMMC with Manjaro obviously isn't an issue for me if I want to boot from SD (or USB drive too, probably). It is just that I wasn't aware of this. Until now I just thought I could plug a live demo of whichever distro in my USB drive and if the USB drive was earlier in the boot order than the boot partition on the harddisc, it would boot from USB. So that's why I missed it. But again, this is no issue for me. I'll try this with debian/ubuntu and see if I can make it work.
Higher up my list of things to learn though is to get comfortable with the i3 window manager. I come from Windowmaker and never managed to be as quick and efficient with KDE. i3 seems interesting so I'll likely put more time into that one than into trying different distros. Should I at some point try Android again and run into issues, I'll revisit this discussion. For now, thanks for your help everyone!
