What will be the best distro for a daily use of the PinePhone ? - PeytonBirch - 03-27-2021

I have used Ubuntu touch for some time, just to experience the phone, but from what I have read, Ubuntu touch is still working on there distro to make it for a every day use. [ Please correct me if I am wrong on this ]
I just flashed Mobian and I honestly didn't like it for a majority of reasons, one of them being that there not as much software available to download as they are in Ubuntu.
I am also into crypto and I found Ubuntu touch pretty good for a every day use with it, unlike with Mobian.
What is the best distro for an evrey day use and for being handy on doing "Linux stuff" on it ?

Hello PeytonBirch,

it seems that quite a few people would tell you that presently Mobian is the most usable choice, at least if you go by the thread

Best,

Quote:I'm using the phone 3-4 hours per day and need it to work fast, as I work on custom writing and use various note taking tools. Ubuntu touch is rather good, but I also want to know your opinion on Mobian and if it's the best distro for you.


Hi,

Mobian and PostmarketOS. These are the most stable, as for me.
