Hi

As the title says I'm thinking of getting a PinePhone. I intend to make it my daily-driver. I've read it isn't ready for daily-driver use but I really only need it to do 3 things...

Calls
Texts
Run a Signal/Molly client

I have an iphone for work and de-Googled Androids that I can turn on if I ever need but I want to avoid it as much as possible

I was happily living with a Punkt MP02 when it worked but it's Signal client is a constant shit-show

So what is it like? Are calls and texts reliable? Has anyone used Signal on it? I'm probably going to do the PostMarketOs/Plasma combo

any experience you can share is helpful
