Using Pinephone Pro While Waiting for Librem 5 to Arrive

The Pinephone sd card is meant for dual booting experimenting new OS’s, and can wipe the internal storage with an image, similar to how you would live boot and install a desktop pc.

I have to say the hardware of Pinephone seemed a bit better than Librem as far as overheating, battery life and being a size closer to every other smartphone that is not a brick of a computer. Purism actually does work on the software that is actually halfway stable (You will want to replace Pinephone’s Qt Manjaro with Phosh/Manjaro). So the benefit of Librem phone is you are paying a developer a paycheck :slight_smile:
