Thanks for The News @RodneyCK. I am chomping at the bit to get the last of my restored files backed-up, then it's back to Linux and back to Garuda. 2-3 hours from now.
I was stuck with a usable Win 11 installation after I screwed the pooch on all of my data, here and externally. By trying to do too much too rapidly and not actually paying nominal attention to it. sigh. And I was doing all the damage from within a Live Linux ISO. A good lesson for others, especially those older Linux users who may become complacent in their "mad skilz."
A buddy I skydived with witnessed another skydiver do a "superman swoop" into the lake where he was canoeing. I guess it was like hitting concrete and the blood flew everywhere, he said. It's something that can happen to very experienced skydivers with a lot of jumps under their belt. Kind of akin to "rapture of the deep." I can believe it.
Enough of my misadventures. Thanks for The News!

Sorry you had to take a ....dive 
into Windows 11. Things like this shake the cobwebs off our often complacent mad linux skillz. Chalk it up as a refresher course....and get back to Linux, quickly.

Let it serve as an example. A bad one.
EDIT: Oh shit! I just realized it has been 90 days--three months--since I had my last cigarette. Holy cow. See? Good stuff happens when you run Linux.

Definitely, running Windows on ones computer is like smoking cigarettes in real life. Both are bad for a person's health

Looking good!
"...not a single call being missed."
That bit surprised me, because I have heard otherwise. Very good to hear! I'm looking forward to the developments the Pinephone Pro will support.

I happen to own the Braveheart edition (2GB RAM; 16GB eMMC) and I haven't tried every available distro yet, but Ubuntu Touch is currently my favorite one. At the moment it is more stable and a lot faster. I haven't tried making (or receiving) phone calls yet.
hum, when I wrote faster, I meant: faster than the Manjaro version that came pre-installed.

btw ... carefull with linux 5.16:
I would be affected, lucky I am on xanmod which is still on 5.15.
So....
linux 5.15 killed my bcache data
linux 5.16 would have killed my ssd in 2 weeks
nice!
