I have tested the 5.9 kernel on Pine64. I was surprised how well some things work.
This kernel should be skipped to go straight to the 5.10 kernel.
My question, does the 5.10 make things easier during development ?
I am always afraid that with completely new things (software) completely unexpected things will happen. (calls in German: Kinderkrankheiten)
I watch your show again and again with enthusiasm.

@ziggutas Many thanks for the explanation. Then I will stay on the RC and see when the Pinephone can be used as a daily driver. At the moment, with 6h battery life and other various problems, this is not given yet.

Hello, I have a short question about this. I have 3 channels in the Pinephone to choose from: dev(298), RC(15) or stable (8). What version is in the link above ? The version (88 or 86) is more stable ? and would the normal OTA updates run here as well ?
I am a bit confused. I hope you can help me with simply clear Words.

It is very easy to install UT.
I have done the same with my Manjora Pinephone.
I downloaded the latest jumpdrive and the UT image.
then i used balenaEtcher to flash 2 SD cards. One with the latest jumpdrive version and one with the UT image for the Pinephone.

You only need the SD card with the UT image to test how the OS runs.
The SD card with jumpdrive is needed to write the UT image to the internal memory with balenaEtcher.

There are really good instructions in the forum.

@C0n57an71n Hello, yes it was really easy to get the UT on the Pinephone. I was really surprised. It runs on my RC channel, but it hasn't been updated for a month. Thanks for the very good instructions.
I hope that after OTA 14 the updates will come regularly again.

with best regards
Steffen

Hello, are there any news about stability ?
I have read the camera is now GPU accelerated.
Is there a stable channel or should I stay in the dev channel ? Ok it takes some time until my Pinephone arrives and I hope that the development will progress until then.

With kind regards
Steffen

I also ordered a Pinephone today.
In the version with 3 Gb Ram.
Delivery expected in November.
I hope that UT will be ready to use it as a daily companion by then.

I will definitely need support to switch from Manjaro to UT.

With kind regards
Steffen
