I will be installing postmarketOS and Phosh on a OnePlus 6. Aside from things I could find on the wiki, are there any quirks of postmarketOS I should know? And what are some solid Linux mobile apps that you like to use?

I just did this earlier today. The installation went smoothly, the main quirk is that postmarket ships with almost no software.

Being kinda annoyed by that is as far as I've gotten so far.

But you have access to flat pack, which can't be said for other big Mobile distributions. (Except Mobian and PocketBlue)
