recommended install image for Pinebook Pro?

[applebananacarrot]

I recently picked up a Pinebook Pro. https://www.pine64.org/pinebook-pro/

The laptop comes with a Manjaro/Arch distro, and I'd prefer to run ubuntu on the system. Wondering if there's a recommended ("official") install image/ISO for lightweight arm systems like this. Also not sure what the install procedure would be for a laptop with USB ports, an SD card slot, and no external drives.

Relevant hardware specs are:

>uname -a
Linux WhitePine 5.8.6-1-MANJARO-ARM #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 22:01:08 CEST 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux

That's specialized HW. Best to stick with distros you find on their support website.
Other Pine64 OSes weren't generic either. Only expect distros created for the platform to make use of the hardware.

Of course, if you are a developer, then you could build a custom ARM distro yourself.

Google found this debian distro installer: https://github.com/daniel-thompson/p...bian-installer
