The Braveheart edition of the Pinephone does not come with a functional Phone UI for Linux. It does come with a PostmarketOS Factory test but not something you can do phone things with.
This instructional video teaches you have to install Ubuntu Touch or Postmarket OS on a Pinephone via a Micro-SD card. We will download the appropriate rootfs for the Operating System (OS) and than flash it to a Micro-SD card. Instructions will be provided for Windows 10, Linux, and MacOs.
