| PinePhone for Kids |

Hi All,
Here is my problem:
I want a phone for my 10 year old boy. This phone should have only one function: dial a number and make a call. Actually 3 numbers: emergency, my number and my spouse's number. Also I want phone to receive calls (it is a phone after all). I want everything else to be disabled or blocked (including camera) when he is using the device.
Questions:
1. Does PinePhone support multiple users (root and regular user) so that I can set up the phone and give it to kid.
2. Is it possible to block everything except phone call function?
Thank you very much for your understanding and feedback.

Dear community.
I could not google the answer to my question. There are default apps for Calls (gnome calls) and SMS (chatty) that keep working in background. How do I add another app same way to be always active ? I wanted to use fractal for matrix, but once the app UI is closed, the process is killed, so it does not receive new messages until its manualy open. Can it be forced in background same as Calls and Chatty?

Hello!
Just got a PineBook Pro on Manjaro and trying to connect it to WiFi network with OWE, but no luck. To networks without it connection is fine.
In logs I do see this:
Code: NetworkManager[495]: <info> [1661936785.2866] policy: auto-activating connection 'WIFI_OWE' (6df297b9-b9c7-4746-a934-725a10786425)

Any hints how it could be fixed?
Thanks!

| Where do the keyboard layouts go? |

After effectively bricking the Mobian subpartition, won't boot, I went on trying out other OSes, now with three weeks of knowledge under my hat . Tried Fedora for a couple of days, and liked it but it had no sound during calls, unusable. And I don't feel like messing straight with the modem. So I tried Lune and Maemo Leste for about half an hour each, nice, and likewise not ready for day-to-day use.
So next on the list, the Manjaro Phosh.
Seeing how it looks a lot like Mobian, I managed to copy my contacts, call history, worked like a hitch. Now when it came to my pet peeve, the keyboard layouts, I saw that what it uses for keyboards is exactly the same squeekboard as I had in Fedora and Mobian. So I put the files where they're supposed to go, to /home/manjaro/.local/share/squeekboard/keyboards/ and... nothing happened. So I wonder what's wrong this time?
Other than that, so far so good... Even the camera app is better than Megapixels. But no, it IS Megapixels, yet it looks much better and works as expected.
