Are you using the Pinephone as your daily driver?
#18
I recently got a Beta Edition, and put a sim in it. I really only need reliable calls and SMS to make this my daily driver. So far it receives and makes calls. It receives SMS, but I have yet to be able to send a text from it. It's very close to usable, but it's not quite there yet.

The camera is pretty sorry, but megapixels works and it does take photos. Still hunting for a photo viewer.
Battery life stinks, but carrying a spare battery will make that tolerable.
Manjaro is apparently based on Arch? It works, I guess, but I'm used to Debian and this is pretty different.
Between the new-to-me distro and the beta everything, it's going to be a while before I'm comfortable relying on this.
