I've been using a PinePhone for about 18 months, since the battery life on my OpenMoko was abysmal (fair enough, considering I'd been using it for over 10 years!)

I'm running the default Manjaro + Phosh it came with, and upgrading through pacman. The phone functionality works fine (calls, SMS, phone book, etc.). One annoyance is that menus in Firefox don't display correctly, which makes addons like uBlock less useful :(

I've also been using the hardware keyboard, which extends the battery life comfortably, and makes it much easier to do long-form writing (due to the physical keyboard itself, and not having an on-screen keyboard wasting space). Unfortunately the keyboard battery no longer seems to be working; I'm not sure if it's due to a kernel update, or a hardware problem (I may have fried the charging circuitry by plugging it in wrong!)
