Using optical drives with Pinephone
#3
Your image made me laugh. I often feel similar about optical media...

Okay so - it turns out that reading optical drives requires the kernel module sr_mod. This is not included by default in Postmarket OS or Manjaro for Pinephone. I tried installing Mobian instead - it doesn't seem to be activated my default but you can use:

sudo modprobe sr_mod

And it activates. It will then read the optical drive!

Interesting learnings...
