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).

I've been using PowerShell for a few years to do basic network fault finding at work - and from the moment I started using Debian, I found many of the basic commands to be the same (although, different switches and arguments) such as "netstat" and "arp" - whereas, these commands are not commonly used in Arch ...so from my experience, Debian and PowerShell have far more in common and Arch is a foreign language...

I will be sure to try the power button when resetting the PinePhone, although, there has been many times when the power button would not even turn the phone on unless I took the battery out first :-(

Ubuntu looks good, and it surly can't be any more unstable than Manjaro ...can it? ;-)
