I have been using Manjaro for the last couple of weeks and I'm using exclusively my Pinephone now (although I don't use my phone much in the first place). It's working pretty well. I don't have any audio quality issues when calling although I frequently have the problem when calling people that my phone says it's still connecting the call (no call timer yet, also no dialing/connection tone, although there usually is one) the other person seems to already have picked up. I then can only hear them after a couple of seconds. Mobile data is working reliably for me now (it hasn't about 2 months ago) for the most part. Sometimes the modem doesn't come back up properly after sleep (happens quite regularly, about once per day). For those occasions I have a little bash script that restarts the modem, so I don't have to reboot the phone and that works well enough:
to power down the modem (in case it isn't already; after that I put sleep for 15 seconds to make sure it can power down, not sure, if that's necessary) and then writing 1 to that file the same way to power it back. Takes about 15 seconds to restart and then everything runs fine again.
Notifications don't really work (at least the LED doesn't), I just check the phone from time to time. I always get notifications for missed calls in Phosh, always for Telegram (if it's open), only sometimes for SMS (sometimes they only appear in chatty).
