The first, most obvious problem is the longer the phone's been running, the longer it takes to wake up. If I put the battery in at breakfast, it's minutes to wake by lunch. I'm looking around at the other options to try this weekend. I tried to stick it out with Manjaro because it was picked as default for the Explorer edition.
Edit: just to be clear, this is for the Pinephone Pro, not a general statement on the state of the OS, and yes, I know it's still early days.
So far it's been almost stable on the Pinebook Pro, but of late when I log in as myself, the wallpaper comes up, followed by a trouble page which stays up for about a half second, followed by a black screen, then wallpaper... a loop. I was able to make out (after many passes, that it was a Plasma failure of some process which looks like kislave5. When I log in as root or my alternate user, the problem is absent. GOD! can't wait to get rid of KDE and Plasma! But of course, even the Manjaro XFCE version will not boot from SD because of Manjaro's screwed up uboot. Don't get me wrong-- Manjaro is a decent Arch derivative, but its quirks make me loath to run it any longer than it takes for me to remove it safely without bricking the Pinebook Pro.
Not sure how you could "brick" a PineBook Pro with a removable eMMC storage device.
