Gave the unofficial installer a try here on my pinebook pro and so far most things seem to work (wifi was detected, not tried sound or bluetooth yet). Will note one thing though -- the link for the installer is a github link and if you visit it github offers either a link (which can be used via git clone) or a zip file - but just downloading the zip file,decompressing and running the script will not work (I made this mistake); you need to use git clone.
Should also point out about being careful with partitions and storage devices! I needed to use BLKDEV= with my install although the microsd showed up slightly unusally as /dev/mmcblk0 (would've thought the internal storage would be mmcblk0) . So as not to wipe the internal storage I made a small 100MB partition on the microsd on another PC and then used fdisk to view partitions so I could get the correct partition and avoid accidentally wiping internal storage.
First thing I would like to try to get working (but do not know how) is 2D (xorg) and 3D (GPU) acceleration. If I'm reading things right the 3d requires something called "panfrost", is that correct? But what on earth does 2D acceleration require?
