PostmarketOS vs Manjaro on Pine Phone

Since this is the first time that I am using the Pine Phone and I am indifferent to which particular flavor of linux I am using, I was wondering if someone could give me a brief summary of the differences between the two operating systems to help me decide whether I should flash the device or keep playing with PostmarketOS.

Thanks!
I'd encourage you to try both as some things work on postmarket that do not yet on Manjaro, and the package managment is different. Anbox is easier to get running and more functional on Manjaro. But both use the phosh desktop, so from a user perspective, they would be the same. Manjaro also offers alpha builds of Lomiri (as in Ubuntu Touch) and Plasma (as in KDE Plasma which is similar to phosh).

I'd also give Mobian and Ubuntu Touch a try. Sailfish and Lune are also nice and fairly different.
