Compared to other distros on the pinephone, it's hampered by having Debian as a base system. The pinephone's singular camera program Megapixels is stuck on an older version on Mobian, because the newer versions require GTK 4, which Debian and thus Mobian does not package.
(You can of course compile the GTK 4 stack yourself if you want. It's Linux after all.)

Yep. So far the plan is once Bullseye moves to stable, I think we are going to look into porting GTK4 into Mobian, as Megapixels and a few other apps are moving to GTK4.

Mobian is targeting Debian Testing/Sid. Debian is currently in freeze but after the upcoming release Mobian will start getting regular updates for every package.
