- Kernel development and phone-related subsystems are the biggest problems. The modem firmware *is* undoubtably buggy and partially broken, but it definitely can be worked around. The USB disconnects, for example, can be worked around if software is smart enough to wait for the connection to resume. I think our first priority is the kernel, which is common to all operating systems that currently boot on the PinePhone.
- I do think that's a serious concern, but I don't think we've reached that point yet, and I don't think we should give up yet. I do think with enough work the PinePhone could be stable, but we need to pick up the pace and direct effort where it's really needed, rather than fluffy GUI stuff that ironically relies on the broken pieces.
Ok, I follow you. I can wait for PP if I see the project is moving. You said for Kernel development we could help to donate here https://xnux.eu/contribute.html So is this guy the best to donate? is a main developer for the kernel? is there a list or kernel developers?
I don't mind to do periodically donations if this moves the project. Maybe this should be advertised, so everyone interested in the PP, donate, so we can support him/them.
