  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, since Febuary-ish.
2) Arch
3) Phosh
4) The basics are there, but phosh lacks useful ui customization via a gui.
5) Yes, though some of the workarounds are slower or require additional steps. Haven't found a good email client, Thunderbird ui is sub-par.
6) Added multiple web and script shortcuts (wireguard toggle, web weather, etc). Visual theme modifications. Updates, additional software.

I suspect that some of my "missing features" could be added if I had a better understanding of gnome.
Functions have only "broken" twice. Stuck/full SMS which had to be cleared via AT commands and a recent update which has caused occasional SIM "disappearance".
