Whether you order a model that comes with Ubuntu Touch, postmarketOS, Manjaro, or KDE Neon pre-installed, the phone is designed to boot first from any properly prepared microSD card. That means you can install an alternate OS on a card, insert it, and turn on the phone to try a different operating system. If you like it, you can use JumpDrive to install it to the phone?s built-in eMMC storage, which should bring at least a modest boost in speed. Just want to try out a bunch of different operating systems without committing to one or constantly flashing microSD cards? That?s where Megi?s multi-distro demo image comes in. The developer offers a single image with a bunch of different operating systems pre-installed. Megi released a new version of November 23, 2020 and it has 17 different operating systems crammed into a 6GB disk image.
