Need help setting up my Milk-V Megrez, where can I find a working software image?

I bought a Milk-V Megrez and wanted to use it like a simple desktop PC. I was aware that this board is very experimental and of course there isn't really much support, especially when it comes to the software, but what I didn't think was that it would be so difficult to get a halfway decent image at all. I thought that if Deepin, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian were printed in bold on the packaging, they must at least be available in a modified version. Well, I was wrong.

I first tried the links on the manufacturer's website. They offer a modified Fedora and Debian, or rather, Rockos. So far, so good. Unfortunately, the link for Fedora doesn't lead anywhere, or the website can't be displayed. Rockos takes me to a GitHub page. When I download the image, I can't unpack the file because it's supposedly corrupted.

Now I've taken a look at the Deepin project. The website is, of course, entirely in Chinese, but the file is also in a completely strange format.

Then I looked into Bainbu and was able to download an IMG file for the first time, hoping that it might actually run. I then used the BalenaEtcher program to write to the micro SD card, as recommended on the website.The SD card was no longer recognized, either on my Mac or on the RISC board.

The EFI (or whatever the chip's program is called) only attempts to boot something, which fails. I can't write anything there because apparently the wireless keyboard isn't recognized either.

Do any of you have a bit more experience than me and can help me with this? I'd just install Linux for now, preferably an older image if there's nothing more recent. I don't care about the distribution.

I thought it worked similarly to ARM boards, like the Raspberry Pi or the Pine64. Am I completely wrong?

Export WhatsApp stickers to Telegram on iPhone

You can’t. What you can do, though, is use WhatsApp’s and Telegram’s web platforms to transfer stickers. It’s easy, but might take a while.Open WhatsApp in your browser, find a sticker you like in a chat, and right-click on it to save it as an image. The file won’t be a picture, though—it’s a webpage and will have a .webp extension. Don’t be scared, this is the way. Repeat this step to save as many stickers as you want.Then, open Telegram in your browser and go into your Saved messages chat. Just as you’d share a file with a friend, click the Share file button on the bottom left of the chat window (it looks like a dog-eared paper), and select the .webp files you downloaded. Click Open and you’ll see your stickers in your Saved messages chat. This is now your sticker depository. To use them, forward them as you would a message from one chat to the other: by clicking or long-pressing on the sticker, and then choosing Forward.
