That's the art of development I guess.
No, that's not art of development but kind of a bad joke:

Most distributions are derived from major unstable repositories where the development for all kind of hardware happens. If in these higher level repositories a change is done for some reason not at all related to the PinePhone, the phone software does get that patch without any specific testing.

IMHO we won't see any stabilization unless a phone distribution does break that dire dependency.

Yepp, and thus seems to be not in the foreseeable future.

ATM the Pinephone is a nice Linux gadget but not usable as a daily and reliable driver. On the modem sid since 2 months there is absolutely no progress. If someone wants to have a small gadget the PinePhone is absoluely nice. For any kind of serious use it is not.

I have her a UBports Edition. Not usable with Manjaro, Arch, UB-T, Debian, Postmarketos, Lomiri, Plasma :-(
Next week i bring it to sale....
