Hello everyone. I've been reading these posts for a few months and decided to include a few thoughts. I have tested several distros on my PP and found the Arch distro to be rather good. These are test phones and some of the individual whom have posted negative comments need to remember this.
With the Arch distro, I have found that most of the apps work and the battery charge holds fairly good. Is it ready as a daily driver? Not yet, but its getting there. Having spent 30+ years of using Linux, I think the PP is making good progress. If I compare my Nexus 4 with Ubuntu and my PP with Arch, the pinephone performs better and is more stable. Lastly, there are many distros (14+) working on their own mobile flavor compared to only 1 or 2 a few years ago and I think in a very short time a few of these will be ready to use as a daily driver. My advice, keep testing and report bugs/errors to help the project(s) move forward not step back.
