### Summary
17+
18+
* Pre-2024 PineNotes were not shipped with a working linux installation.
19+
* Batch-2 PineNotes that started selling in October 2024 were shipped with the community-maintained, Debian-based, Linux image found here: [https://github.com/PNDeb/pinenote-debian-image](https://github.com/PNDeb/pinenote-debian-image).
20+
* While the factory-flashed image cannot be freely distributed due to unclear distribution rights of the waveform, OS files without the shipped waveforms can be found in this release and a basically equivalent to the shipped images: https://github.com/PNDeb/pinenote-debian-image/releases/tag/batch-2-factory-image-wo-waveform
21+
* Parts of the batch-2 PineNotes will be flashed with an updated OS version. Notes regarding differentiating between factory OS versions will be made available here in time.
