Their image does ship a bootloader. I don’t get what you are trying to tell me xD
It booted fine when I flashed it
do you mean they ship pinebook specific uboot/towboot on their generic arm device??
There are necesssary for certain features, more explanation can be found here:
Oh I see, no they (probably) don’t. It’s a generic image, not even an installer
so you have bad xp on manjaro because you use old out dated (linux-pinebookpro kernel )
- your reason for use that kernel is " you want/need external display working " .
my understand from post here you tell manjaro devs could they + patch in new kernel so you keep external display use? they told you use try LTS as patch removed on latest kernel + wont come back in current state ( need work on patch )
so now you try Endeavouros arm on your Pinebook pro + find external display no work on EOS kernel but you want it … am i right ?

I alltogether got fed up with manjaro and didn’t want to use it anways. Now that I’ve found a non-manjaro arch-based distro for the PBP I’m more than happy.
This recent crash has just made the switch easier.
it great you happy on Endeavouros . you no answer , 
answer question about external display
They told me their patches were hacky. That’s probably why they don’t seem to be in any of their other kernels
yes + other reasons. happy that clear up 
hope you enjoy your time on Endeavouros on your Pinebook Pro.
EDit its in their LTS kernel so you could build that ( try see if still work )
Well, I was a bit hesistant at first, fearing missing patches, but it turns out that the linux-lts kernel works perfectly fine! Display works as expected!
I didn’t even have to build it because their Build Jobs on gitlab save the packages in the artifacts archive
See here
Edit: @sradjoker could you check the lts patches? Using the default kernel is better than some random package with no automatic updates
before you go… you use tow-boot or uboot atm 
If they can’t get it working I can’t promise anything. They know about the device better than me.
I was asking you the find the specific patch for pinebook pro and kernel config if any.
Also if lts is working for you, keep using it.

tow-boot

So there are no specific pbp patches in your kernels?
I’m not sure, as I said before, I’m using manjaro arm kernel. That is officially supposed to work on pinebook pro and it does.
They apply a whole bunch of patches and keep adding and removing as they see it.
