Buying used vs next pre-order of Manjaro Convergence?

[tgz]

Seems like that's going to be the case, yes.
But I don't really think you should worry too much about it, the only differences are the OS they're running on and the back cover, both of which can be user replaced.
Apart from that, the next phone isn't a Manjaro KDE edition, it's just KDE edition.

If still unsatisfied, you might find a used phone online, I've seen many people who bought one being disappointed and sold it after very slight usage.

OK, thanks! yeah, showing my noob-ness being concerned about what's installed   I found a Manjaro convergence package used and made the purchase, looking forward to checking it out. thanks for the quick reply.
