I got mine in the UK a while ago and it did take a while to arrive, but I'm sure you'll be fine and get yours soon.

Got mine running Manjaro XFCE (installed on internal storage) and it's great. The screen is really nice.

Is it running the mainline/current stable kernel or is it something with out of tree patches that's behind?

The latter, but they're actively trying to get those patches upstreamed, which is more than most arm vendors do.

That's awesome. I've ordered the PinePhone and I know that's already mainline, so I trust them more than most other vendors to keep their word.

It's running 5.6.0-0.42-MANJARO-ARM, so that'll be a bit behind.

What was the import duty like?

I don't think I got stung with that. It's a bit random with getting stuff from the U.S. - sometimes you get stung with import tax and a stupid handling charge and sometimes you get lucky.

Edit: looking at other comments, it probably came from China which tends to be better for not getting caught with import charges.
