What’s a daily driver?
A device you can comfortably use in your everyday life to do what you would want from such a device. In this case a phone you can do telephone calls with, write instant messages, take photos, browse the internet, play some games. And everything without the battery dying on you. And in a manner that is not too hacky ir frustrating.
It is possible to daily drive a Pinephone. But it's not a pleasant experience. It's better suited for unpleasant tinkering.
The device you use every day.
The origin is that your “daily driver” is your car for commuting to work, presumably to differentiate it from your sports car or farm truck.
