Pinephone Pro: Determined To Make It (Drive-able)

[mikehenson]

Would love to make this device primary.
Any feedback on the problems / proposed solutions greatly appreciated.

Megi's https://xff.cz/kernels/ offers pre-built ones, but sadly kinda lost on how to make it work on postmarketOS (based on Alpine).
Arch seems to use Megi's kernel or patches, but it didn't survive the night either.
Mobian seemed ok, but couldn't get the SXMO working.

See this post for a complete install and setup.

The device is also pretty hot. Like, literally.
Convergence + heavier use might need better heat dissipation to prevent thermal throttling (think I read it starts at 65°C/149°F on PPP).
Thinking about using 0.05mm copper pads with kapton tape on conductive shielding to prevent short-circuits & improve cooling.

Wow! That is hot! I only get hot when I am running firefox for a long time. 

USB-C doesn't work for data transfers, camera neither, but that isn't deal-breaker.

If you have a local network, use synchthing for data transfers.
