I ordered the pinephone when it was first announced. I think it’s a really good first step. The hardware is extremely lacking though. It’s not nearly powerful enough to make this a daily driver for me. Way too much lag and stuttering. Every couple months I will flash a new or updated distro and play around with it for a day or two, and the software side has definitely improved a lot in the last year. I’m hoping that the next generation comes with better, more usable hardware. Super excited to see the progress that comes for this product

The hardware specifications are really disapointing. I'm used to buying top end hardware, desktop and mobile. The Librem 5 isn't any better and it's a $900 phone! I suppose this market is still too new. I'm hopeful things will get better in the future as well. I'm very impressed by the fact the pinephone can run the upstream Linux kernel. Maybe that wouldn't have been possible with higher end hardware. I'm not sure.
