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!(Sorry, I read over that for some reason.)
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 ;-)
Comparing Debian to PowerShell is like comparing a Buddhist temple to a Christian church rather.
The biggest difference between Linux distributions in general are the package manager, and where they store system files in (there are more differences, but these 2 I believe are by far the most important).
PowerShell is a beast of its own with a far higher learning curve (to my own experience at least).
As jlucas said, Mobian is mobile Debian, and Ubuntu Touch is Ubuntu for mobile, therefore Debian-based.
However, Ubuntu Touch is still not daily driver ready for PinePhone.
Taking out battery when whatever device crashes can possibly damage or even brick such device, and is therefore not recommended.
It's a better idea to just hold the power button for over 20 seconds as a much safer alternative.
Because this will still work, no matter how deeply it froze.
