My pixel 8 pro has been working fine with usb-c headphones getting regular use. I usually leave them plugged into the phone throughout the day and then charge at night. Phone’s maybe 8 months old now, but I did the same with my pixel 6 for years without a problem. I am pretty careful when I unplug things from the slot though.

I fully switched to Debian in early 2024 and haven’t looked back. Highly recommend a full swap to everyone. Windows and Mac have nothing to offer.
