Most stable Pinephone OS

One additional note that I have come to realise is very important;
Once you have obtained mainly what you are looking for in the device - don't update it.
If it works - leave as is.
Should you decide to update, copy the .img of the device to your computer first.

That's for sure. Updates to Mobian last week left me without audio on calls. If updates this week don't fix it I'll revert to a working backup image. (As of the weekend's updates it's still not working.) Once the audio problem is fixed I'll be avoiding future updates. (Temporarily I'm booting off a working SD card.)

I just updated my Arch Linux Phosh as I was looking for a certain update. First as you know I backed everything up and then did update. All is working well and I wont touch anything update until a situation arises where I need something updated.
At present I am working on my other phone with Arch Plasma. Still plenty of work required there and I update that all the time. That phone is not critical but my Arch Phosh phone does have critical info on it so I must protect that.
Good luck Zeb with getting the calls back audio.
