I had a great experience putting PostmarketOS onto my RockPro64 last night. Pmbootstrap through the temrinal was easy to setup and very feature rich. You can choose your device, init system, user name, timezone, password, desktop environment, and more. After all that you simply choose which disk/sd card to install it to and whether you want full disk encryption or not. I was even able to install straight to my NVME. This was the first time I was able to get a distro installed with full disk encryption on my RockPro64 and also the first time I could get any distro that would boot on my RockPro64 through an NVME. After completing this process I simply took the NVME and installed it into my RockPro64 and then powered it on and everything was ready to go. PostmarketOS is based off of Alpine, uses BusyBox for the init system and ext4 for the file system.


A good guide is available on the PostmarketOS website:

The main PostmarketOS site is here:

The source code can be found on Gitlab:

PostmarketOS has a presense on Mastodon; Lemmy as well as Matrix.
