How are folks using the Pinephone (sim swapping?)
#4
2 SD cards for every OS you seriously run & test. This just saved a rebuild for me yesterday. All system upgrades go to the QA card first. My needs are small, but while I manually manipulate the phone for rebooting. GPS kicks, wifi kicks, and modem kicks, I do use it as a true daily driver. As mentioned above, power consumption is extremely poor right now while the hardware people work through the USB/power relationships but it has been reasonable in the past.

I spend more time with problems introduced upstream. For example, if you use Thunderbird on Manjaro, do not let that update (68 ->78) go through. 2 hour restore because the Thunderbird devs figured my 20 years of contacts and calendars were not all that important. I hope they be running fsck alot in the future. Not really, but.......

YMMV
