  1. Do you use the Pinephone as your daily driver?
  2. If yes: What distribution do you use?
  3. Which desktop environment/interface do you use?
  4. Does the interface offer the basic functionality you need or is something missing?
  5. Have you been able to add the missing functionality through third party applications or customisations?
  6. Which customisations did you apply to make the pinephone meet your expectations towards a daily driver?
1. Yes.
2. Mobian Bookworm with 
3. Phosh
4. It's probably as good as a touchscreen will get, but touchscreen is a lousy way to control a linux computer.
5. Not having MMS is a pain. I'm waiting for mmsd-tng support in chatty, then it will be 100% for phone functions for me. My main non-phone uses are a little web browsing and a bible reader.  Firefox is OK, though the interface is a little flaky still. Xiphos is not usable on a small screen, and that is by design. Too bad, because it's an amazing program. BibleTime sort of works now, but scrolling and navigation is very unsatisfactory and it just doesn't handle the small screen well.
6. I'm trying to NOT customize, I want to be able to keep it current with nothing more than sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade.
Pinephone beta edition, convergence model, Mobian Bookworm with Phosh.
