IMO the most functional pine64 gadgets are the pinetime and pinebook pro, those you can daily drive. The phones are not ready yet, they are good devices to play with but I wouldn’t use them as a daily driver, you could miss an important text or phone call and you want a reliable phone in case of an emergency. If you just want a cheap phone that doesn’t spy on you I would get a ‘dumb’ phone.
That’s normal, I have been using fsr from steam deck’s menu and got it running at 30 fps for the most part, it can still go below 30 but it is very playable.
