If you don't need to use it as a reliable phone, accept that some things won't work properly yet, and would like to use it to learn more about linux, then it might be for you.
So the question is: I would love to buy PinePhone for me, is it possible with my linux level?
The other question is: are they going to sell another Manjaro's version again? If not, is the KDE version easy to use? which is the easier OS to use?
And the ultimate: could I use Whatsapp on it?
Thanks a lot for your attention,
Waiting for your answer.
Don't worry about the 'version' - just get the latest when you want it as it will have the most recent hardware fixes. You can install any of the OS flavours on any hardware version, and the factory firmware will be out of date by the time the phone arrives. The 'versions' haven't repeated yet, but might do when they've gone through all the available phone distros. If you want to support one in particular then you can make a donation.
Someone might eventually get Whatsapp working in Anbox or similar, but so far as I know it hasn't happened yet. People have managed to install it, but it won't run properly.
