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

There is an unofficial Gentoo overlay with ebuilds for the PinePhone Pro. There are no images - you'll be building it yourself, picking which kernel, bootloader and desktop environment you want to use. The PinePhone Pro will not work with P-Boot but will with U-Boot, there is an ebuild for it you can use. You will be using the arm64 version of Gentoo.

WIP. See https://github.com/NixOS/mobile-nixos/issues/440


postmarketOS

postmarketOS extends Alpine Linux to run on smartphones and other mobile devices. It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).

Download

Official images for the PinePhone Pro will be available once it is in the "community" category of devices. Until then, build your own image with pmbootstrap.

See the pine64-pinephonepro page of the postmarketOS wiki for details.


Various DPA Images

Multiple versions of unofficial images of various debian based distros. They also contain some of my own software.

Most of these images are still in development / incomplete, and I don't have time to test them all, but I think they can still be useful as a starting point to get distros running for which no other images have been created yet. I actually made this just because I wanted to run my favorite distro, devuan, on my phone.

My 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.
