Just received Pinephone - system crashes

I'll give Mobian a spin, though I do plan to try out several different distributions. Booting off the SD card makes it pretty easy, though a bit of a PITA to have to open the phone up and remove the battery to access the card. (I guess that's one way of making sure the filesystem on the SD card is not mounted when you take it out.)
I won't be removing the battery again with the unit powered on! As i said it's just that on most computers what we used to call "flipping the big red switch" is the normal thing to do with a system lockup. Maybe the phone should come with a warning slip in the package. I don't recall seeing anything about it in the small leaflet of instructions but the type is so small I may have missed it if there.
If diags are to be believed the modem survived OK but I do see in the wiki there is a procedure for recovering the modem firmware if need be.
