What OS have you found that works best, with the Pine Phone?

I have the following requirements:
NECESSARY
Calls and Texts plus WiFi.

IMPORTANT (FOR ME)
Nextcloud
Podcast software
Plays MP3
Good browser

NICE TO HAVE
Works with an external monitor

Amongst others, I have tried the following OSs, over the last 12 months

Manjaro
Didn't get on with this. It was early on in my learning curve.

UBTouch Ubuntu 16.04
I bought a PinePhone because I was used to UBTouch on a Nexus5 where it worked very well and I thought my Nexus5 was failing. UBTouch has many problems on the PPhone - essentially unusable.

Mobian
Probably the best of the OSs that I've tried so far but Nexcloud synchronisation was hit and miss plus I couldn't get podcast nor MP3 playing software to work.

Fedora Linux 38
Didn't get on with this - lost some calls and texts.

Postmarket OS Phosh
Just started using this (again). Looks good, so far. It feels like a complete Linux computer in a tiny shell.
