How long is a piece of string? Big Grin 

AFAIK you have 3 choices - Arch, Mobian & postmarketOS. My choice is Arch - I am comfortable with pacman and believe there is a bigger repository of applications (especially with AUR) than pmOS. And I grew out of Mobian as found it too prescriptive.

As I write it may be that Arch is the only 1 of 3 that does not support PPP camera "out of the box" - doesn't affect me though as I have found sxmo runs just fine on my PP and so my PPP is in mothballs for the moment!
  • PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb daily driver, Tow-boot with pmOS/SXMO on eMMC
  • PinePhone pmOS Community Edition 2/16Gb driving my picture frame, Tow-boot with pmOS/SXMO on eMMC
  • PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, Tow-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO on eMMC
  • ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC retired in favour of a fruity upgrade
