I'm just curious if the phonepines are ironing out issues on every release. I read all these little things and curious if those tiny issues ( ex. the high pitch buzz upon turning on the pinephone or a muffled sound when trying to talk on the phone ). I had the PMOS release but gave the phone to my little nephew, who seems to be getting way more out of it than I was at the time. The kids 11 and now bugging me for one of my thinkpads, bc his father won't let him switch his desktop over to linux. I'm itching for another pinephone, but really want to use it as a functioning phone. I don't use social media or any google apps on my phone.So, is it safe to pull the trigger on the Manjaro edition ?
If you buy a development phone with an OS still in development, and the makers explicitly state that it's not ready yet for daily use, then of course the phone/OS will have issues.
It's like buying a broken TV from someone who clearly states that the TV is broekn, and then you ask the seller when the TV will get fixed.
(Yes, you can buy broken TVs, but the target audience will always be technicians who know how to fix TVs.)
The problem is that not even the basic functions of a phone - calls and SMS - are working something like reliable. And this after more than a half year on the market with the phone.
So for using it as a PHONE the pinephone is absolutely unusable
