Distribution	Download Link	File Size	MD5
Sailfish with RK2AW	ppp-factory-image-20231118.img.gz	447MB	`4e31e0a6b0999e3e3df45f86a7dc9c33`
Manjaro with Tow-Boot	Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephonepro-factory-20211212.img.xz	1.37GB	`b82ba02287c1699b14fed403ce485b44`

Arch Linux ARM

(Unofficial) Arch Linux ARM with choice of Phosh UI, Plasma Mobile, sxmo or barebones. Currently being maintained by the DanctNIX community (GitHub: danctnix, dreemurrs-embedded).

Download

Get both stable and test builds at GitHub releases.

Default credentials
Default user	`alarm/123456`
root (barebone only)	`root/root`

Notes

The GitHub page can be found here: dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch

A re-image of the above Arch image providing a Btrfs root partitioning has been made by user kaida.

Fedora

An (unofficial) Fedora Linux build for aarch64 with megi's kernel and some additional packages to tie it all together. It aims to eventually be an upstream part of the Fedora project, rather than a phone-specific distribution.

Forum discussion: Fedora + Phosh for PinePhone
GitLab: [1]

Download

There is also an FTP server with images build every night @ ftp://pine.warpspeed.dk/nightly/pinephone/ (Mount this with something like Nautilus)

Default credentials
Nightly images (via FTP)	`pine/1111`

Notes

WiFi, Bluetooth, SMS, Data, Calls all work! There are still a few bugs though, and some features don't have driver support yet on any PinePhone distribution.

Please send your bug reports to the project's issue tracker. Be sure to include logs if applicable!

Gentoo

There are unofficial Gentoo overlays with ebuilds for the PinePhone Pro. There are no images - the image must be built manually, including picking the kernel, bootloader and the desired desktop environment. The ARM64 version of Gentoo has to be selected. The PinePhone Pro will not boot with P-Boot but will boot with U-Boot, there is an ebuild for it.

Download

The overlay can be found under https://github.com/stealthgun/gjdwebserver-overlay

Notes

See https://stealthgun.tweakblogs.net/blog/19830/gentoo-on-a-pinephone-pro for the documentation.

Note: Please consider cross-compiling the software on the computer. Long compilation times and heat production can lead to a reduced lifespan of the phone.

Various DPA Images

Multiple versions of unofficial images of various Debian-based distributions by the user DPA. They also contain some of DPA's own software.

Download

The latest successful image builds can be found here: https://repo.dpa.li/apt/dpa-image-builder/images/?board=pinephone-pro

Notes

Most of these images are still in development / incomplete and DPA doesn't have time to test them all, but they can still be useful as a starting point to get distributions running for which no other images have been created yet. DPA made these images because they wanted to run their favorite distribution, Devuan, on their phone.

The build scripts can be found in various places: GitLab, my server, GitHub

In theory, these build scripts can create images for any Debian-based distribution which supports ARM64 and can be bootstrapped using debootstrap.
