I can only answer for my self, but I use my PineBook Pro as a daily user at work for VScode, Work needed Web Apps, Simple Note, email, office apps etc. Not a heavy load but I have no issues or frustrations. I did not buy it for this purpose though, I bought it for its stated purpose of being a hackable ARM based enthusiast laptop....but it just so happens to work great for my needs at work.
I have not had a hinge issue (knock on wood) yet, but know others have. My only physical issues with the laptop are screws wallowing out the soft, thin metal (fixed with screws with larger heads), screws working loose (locktite) and my only unsolvable issue is cracking of the plastic around USB ports (minor).
I have been running Manjaro (KDE) for quite awhile now with no complaints, runs great for me....obviously your mileage may vary. Yes, they was a fix/hack for the trackpad that made a big difference in its usability (still not perfect though)
