== Manjaro ARM ==
[[File:Manjaro.png|right|100px]]

* The Manjaro project offers a mainline kernel with patches and modules to support PBPro hardware in two flavors. Both provide DD images and installer images (DD to SD card which will then install to eMMC when booted).
* To learn more about Manjaro please visit [https://forum.manjaro.org/tags/manjaroarm Manjaro Forum]
* '''Pitfall''': When using the EMMC installer from SD card, you may get stuck on the bootsplash animation forever. But that's just the image masking the TUI (text mode user interface) installer. Just press escape after like some seconds or so, and you will have an easy-to-follow installer.
