  1. Do you use the Pinephone as your daily driver?
  2. If yes: What distribution do you use?
  3. Which desktop environment/interface do you use?
  4. Does the interface offer the basic functionality you need or is something missing?
  5. Have you been able to add the missing functionality through third party applications or customisations?
  6. Which customisations did you apply to make the pinephone meet your expectations towards a daily driver?
1) Yes
2) Mostly Mobian, also play wth Arch for a bleeding edge fun.
3) Phosh
4) Worst thing with Phosh is umpteen keystrokes to wake up phone and get to app. I dont want a password to cramp my style so badly.
5) Yup, add lots after any install including telegram-desktop, axolotl, mpv, evolution, liferea, atril, pcmanfm, wake-mobile and utilities so megapixels does jpg the way I want.
6) scale-to-fit, remove any preinstalled apps that I use my prefs for in 5. Lots of playing in /usr/share to get things looking the way I like including -U start oprion for phosh. load /etc/hosts to avoid ads, set user agent in firefox because I generally despise mobile versions of websites. Install/configure p-boot. Dont have my recipe book to hand to detail all the mods.
  • ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC for rootfs, SX8200Pro 512GB NVMe for /home, HDMI video & sound, Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Arch (6.2 kernel, Openbox desktop) for general purpose daily PC.
  • PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
  • PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC
