So far I've been sticking with bookworm for the stability. Since I only use the Pinephone for phone calls having that basic function working is my primary concern. However there are some rough edges in bookworm that, if fixed in trixie, might motivate me to switch.
Volume controls don't work during phone calls with bookworm's stock pulseaudio setup. I tried moving to pipewire and the volume controls then worked, but audio routing between the speaker and earpiece was very buggy. So, back to pulseaudio and doing without volume control.
Bluetooth audio doesn't work, it just results in static. This can be mitigated for phone calls by using a wired headset but of course that's a bit clumsy. I've also found that the headset needs to be plugged in after the call is started or the microphone doesn't work.
