My #pinephone came in and I wrote a huge write-up my first impressions. Something happened and it's gone now.
Bottom line is that first impressions were reasonably good, but there was a lot of crashing and a lot of things just don't work out of the box. It's an alpha product, but I think that it's a lot further down the line than I would have expected. Depending on the amount of support that plasma mobile gets, we could be looking at a serious contender in a couple of years.
Next step for me is to try to load up some other operating systems to see what's out there. I'm kind of hoping to find something that maybe is a little bit jankier but give me more of the basic power that you get with running a full Linux distribution.
