From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wanted to install it on my Pinebook Pro (AARCH64, with Tow-Boot installed to SPI) but I haven’t gotten it working.
Regular nixos user here. Also failed on pinebook nixos, then bricked it trying to install something else. Ah well, seemed like it would be a cool machine.
SPI flash bricked the machine? That should be a fairly easy repair for your local electronics shop, if you tell them what file to flash there
Its been a while since I did it. I needed towboot but you couldn't install that with the default distro, then I tried installing another distro and now it doesn't even show an LED when I plug it in. Is it flash, is it something else? Dunno. Just hasn't been enough of a priority for me to spend more time on it.
Same boat here.
I think it has to do with the config file for firmware.
