+## About
+
+Cheat sheet for Linux Mint connecting to and imaging a PinePhone64.
+
+## Commands
+
+> Tip: Run `lsblk` before attaching anything to your Linux Mint PC. Take note of what you see - none of those are what you want to run commands against.
+
+Unpack `.xz` images with `unxz -v <filename>`. `-v` is important to see progress, because this is not quick.
+Get a list of attached devices with `lsblk`
+Images can be written to SD card with `dd` - BE CAREFUL not to wipe your PC boot drive!
+
+
+> Tip:
+>
+> Note: The image needs to be written to the whole device, not to partition 1. Make sure you're NOT selecting /dev/sda1 or /dev/mmcblk0p1 as target.
