Yes. My main goal is to use PinePhone as a hotspot. I received the phone with PostMarketOS beta, and it worked OK the few minutes I tried. But since it was an older beta without a possibility for OTA upgrade, I switched to Manjaro Linux Plasma Mobile since I understand it's the default OS for PinePhone going forward.
I've also tried the latest version of PostMarketOS, and I can connect to 4G without problem, and setup a hotspot, but while 4G data is working from the PinePhone, and I can connect from my other phone or laptop to the hotspot, there's no internet connectivity. It looks like the kernel needs to be recompiled with a different .config file to make that work https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...t+internet for this to work.
I still think it might be good to make 4G work reliably on Manjaro Linux, especially if future PinePhone will ship with it by default.
