I flashed the Pinephone multi-boot image 2020-09-14 on my 3GB PinePhone.
I tested all 13 distros with a FreedomPop SIM, which is an AT&T MVNO, to determine whether cellular data can be activated.
Arch Linux ARM 2020-09-08
?️ CLI only, not tested.
Lune OS 0.113
❌ Missing APN config option.
Naemo Leste 20200906
❌ No cellular data menu.
Mobian 20200912
❌ 4G icon appears for 10 seconds and then disconnects.
KDE Neon 20200912-132511
❌ No SIM card listed in "Settings - Cellular Networks" menu.
pmOS / fbkeyboard 2020-09-11
?️ CLI only, not tested.
pmOS / GNOME 2020-09-11
❓ I cannot get past initial setup screen on touchscreen because it's too wide.
pmOS / Phosh 2020-09-11
✅ Cellular data works.
? Setup screen is too wide, but I can workaround by changing to landscape layout to reach the "next" button.
? This is a different experience than the original postmarketOS factory image, which means the different kernel or modem power scripts in 13-distro image may have helped.
pmOS / Plasma Mobile 2020-09-11
❗ System freezes when tapping "Settings" icon, but "Settings" app works.
❓ For some reason the APN is already configured. It's possibly coming from the SIM card.
❓ I can't test ping or Firefox because virtual keyboard does not show up.
PureOS 20200908
❌ 4G icon appears for 10 seconds and then disconnects.
Sailfish 1.1-3.3.0.16-devel-20200909
✅ Cellular data works.
❓ For some reason the APN is already configured. It's possibly coming from the SIM card.
❓ Browser doesn't work but I can see the page title retrieved.
pmOS / sxmo 0.1.8-20200726
❓ No cellular data menu.
Ubuntu Touch 2020-09-10
✅ Cellular data works.
⭕ Requires a reboot.
I started these tests booting from eMMC. However, after trying to use "pmOS / Plasma Mobile", the system in eMMC will only boot into Arch Linux instantly and the boot menu disappeared, so that I have to finish the rest of tests with SD card.
