The Best Feature of the PinePhone is...

[ryo]

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!

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? ;-)

Netstat is something you can install on all distro's, it's just that Debian pre-includes it.
Like how CentOS pre-includes the "whois" command, which you need to install separately on both Debian and Arch.
As for arp, never heard of it or used it, so I don't really know.

As for the instability, it's not necessarily Manjaro's fault, but rather Plasma Mobile.
Out of all the PlaMo distro's, I believe that Manjaro still has the most stable one, they also have Phosh (currently the most stable DE) and Lomiri (which is what Ubuntu Touch uses) versions available.

Though my reason to use Mobian for the PinePhone running Phosh is primarily because Manjaro doesn't seem to include Japanese localization into their Phosh image for whatever reason.
They do for their PlaMo image though.

I have Ubuntu Touch running on my Nexus 5, but as I understood before, it's just not ready for PinePhone yet.
And Lomiri is the only one of the 3 major mobile DE that doesn't run any desktop apps without virtualization (which by the way drains battery like a lunatic).
