    I daily drive PinePhone Pro with the Pine keyboard to extend battery life. The experience is far from Android, but it’s usable.

      What distro do you use? Is there anything that doesn’t work/works awfully? I understand the camera used to be a problem but dunno if that’s still the case

        I use Arch Linux ARM (with Danct repos).

        Camera works and sometimes broken after suspend, but I don’t use it. Audio on calls sometimes buggy. But megi resolved call issues, I updated today. Battery life is poor unless you use a keyboard. Battery indicator displays combined percentage which isn’t ideal.
