The Best Feature of the PinePhone is...
#1
...the removable battery! ...what a god send ...I've lost count of how many times I've had to take the battery out to get Manjaro Plasma working again ...joking aside, I've only had the phone a week and in that time it's been by far the most used feature of the phone - as Plasma seems to lock up pretty much every time I handle it and never for the same fault twice.

To be fair, part of my problem is my lack of Arch Linux knowledge.  I'm sure it's great when you get to know it, but I really don't have time to learn a new set of commands right now, as it seems to me that Debian has more in common with PowerShell than it does with Arch!

So - can any of you guys recommend a good Debian based OS that I may have a better chance of working with ...I'm by no means a Debian Linux master (as is recommended before buying the PinePhone, so I only have myself to blame) but at least with the amount of Debian I do know, 'll have a fighting chance to work out why the battery needs to be removed again...

...sorry Manjaro, you are very pretty, but I'm a simple man with simple needs ;-)
