Hey OT, what did you get and how is it working for you? I'm keen to move but life has been insane and I just don't.have.time

Pinephone Pro. Absolutely not usable for everyday use as far as I can tell - missing camera support, constant app crashes and hangups, web browsing is a decent but hacky version of Firefox with drawbacks associated to that, inputs are not consistent, and overall performance is shockingly poor and inconsistent.

However, some good notes - the Phosh/GNOME interface is nice, hardware privacy switches are included on the device, and there’s a particular joy in seeing a terminal up and running and realizing you’ve got a full desktop OS on a slab :)

it definitely needs work, but it is exciting.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye and hopefully.
