debian+phosh running on PinePhone

[a-wai]

Someting I have noticed in other distros as well is that the time setting for my time zone is initially 1 hour behind, irrespective of whether we are in summer time or not.

Initial timezone is UTC, so that's expected.

Under "Language & Region", I can select a UK keyboard layout, but the only entries in "Language" and "Formats" refer to the United States, they cannot be changed. I don't mind a different spelling occasionally, but would prefer the UK date format.

Locales aren't installed by default, as it would be pointless to generate locales for all possible languages while only one will be used in the end. I have yet to find out how to deal with it, any help would be greatly appreciated

The Geary e-mail client does not let me set up my account correctly. This may be because I own my domain name which is hosted on a provider's server with a different name. Example (not my real e-mail): myself@myname.co.uk can be found at mail.provider.net. But Geary rejects this server.

That sounds like an issue with Geary, please check with the desktop version.

As an alternative, I tried to install Claws Mail, but when I try to set it up, I am running into a strange keyboard glitch: The keys are mapped differently. Pressing Backspace produces "=" signs, for instance. Switching between "English UK" and "Terminal" keyboard layouts does not make a difference.

That's a known issue with apps which aren't wayland-compatible.

Please post  IF  or   When 'Synaptic' app will be compatible

It most likely won't (old design, not worth the effort).

Lasted approx 12 hrs using suspend. Not bad at all.

Cool, thanks for the feedback
