Is the pine phone usable as a daily driver now?
#14
I'm using my PPhone as my daily driver now that I've worked out the updates and that it will work even when it has gone onto standby, hence the battery lasts all day. Received volume is a bit quiet but Arch Linux phosh seems to be reliable and has many good features. Firefox works well, even on the SIM card.

I have bought a 15" monitor with the hope of using my PPhone with a large screen. It connects OK both direct through a USB C to C cable and via HDMI through a cheap amazon dongle. However, I cannot replicate the PPhone screen on the monitor, as shown below.

Maybe I should try Arch Linux Plasma as DaForest suggests but am a bit reluctant to take the plunge from what is a working phone.
