Does the pine phone still run at 5FPS and barely run youtube videos?

...no? Maybe that was the case when it first came out, but that hasn't been the case for a while.
I'd love to be filled in. I saw some videos of Manjaro which was dreadful (latest version). Ubuntu seemed to run fine until you do something performance intensive (for 2005 standards).
I'd advise you to look at the blogs of Pine64, PostmarketOS, and/or some of the other distros.
No. Even when it first came out you could just run an X11 WM on it and it would run in real time.
What a loaded question.
If you use acceleration it can play 1080p H264 videos at 60FPS. Any other questions?
If you need more performance, consider Librem 5 instead.
