I might give the GNU/Linux phone another shot.
I do prioritize currency over stability in many instances, but I do want a reasonable level of stability which is admittedly quite subjective. Pop!_OS or other Ubuntu-based distros seem to strike the right balance for me (Pop won me over with it's built in, togglable tiling manager, a feature I'd have to spend a week's worth of free time researching and trying to get working properly in, say Arch.) I just don't have much free time and motivation to spend getting some tiny quality of life improvement to work.

Your experience is basically the exact opposite of what's described here[0]. I bring this up as an optimistic PinePhone owner. I just don't think it's there yet.

This thread is quite long and started many months ago. It got much better since then. See later replies. Also, I agree that some OS may not be very stable, but Mobian works pretty much flawless for me for typical tasks.

Currently, phone calls and sms work fine on both Librem 5 and Pinephone. The development rate is amazing. Only the good battery life is lacking yet, but it's improving every month.
