I’ve been reading through this thread and it really looks like a software or driver issue rather than a hardware problem, especially since Wi-Fi works fine for you on postmarketOS and Mobian but not on Plasma Mobile CE or Manjaro Lomiri. That kind of inconsistency usually points to how the Realtek Wi-Fi driver or firmware is handled in specific images, possibly around suspend/resume or network manager integration. Testing with a newer kernel or updated firmware package on the affected distros might help narrow it down, but it’s good confirmation that the PinePhone itself is likely not at fault.
