I have a few years old Pinephone in a drawer I never really got around to using, because back then the state of phone Linux easn't really usable. Failed calls, issues with battery life and the like.

Does anyone knows if it got better?

Actually they're ending their production. Here's an alternative, Mecha Comet

I'm not really looking for a new phone, but for an OS to put onto my old PinePhone. It shouldn't matter that they are no longer made, no?

As far as I know, which isn't a lot tbh, the hardware is ok, but most of the issues were on OS level, not being mature enough.
