Trying Manjaro and it seems promising but ...........
Booted nicely, very good user interface that makes it easy to find the functions I want. Found my SIM card and wifi.
This is where the "but" comes in. Nothing seems to actually do anything. The phone simply brings up a screen that says "Phone." No dialpad, no nothing. I thought maybe it would help to have a contact for it to display. Went to add contacts, it gives me the relevant fill-in popup, but doesn't save anything I enter.
Tried to set time and timezone. The interactive display to scroll to numbers comes up, but they don't scroll. Nothing is changed.
Tried to activate the wifi it could see by entering password, but it says "wlan0 not found." I don't know if this is the same issue as above, where kde disconnects it. Any way to get kde to stop doing that??
So, promising but frustrating so far.
