Quick question (embarrassingly, I haven't looked into this yet myself), can I install this OS on my PinePhone?

The Pine64 forum says the port to Pinephone is no longer being maintained: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_Software_Releases#PureOS https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_Software_Releases#Pur... Perhaps it's still possible if you can get the drivers and kernel from the right places, but if seems like you won't receive any official support on such a setup.

You can use the Phone Shell (phosh) developed by Purism in Mobian OS on the Pinephone (by default).

  Oh, phosh is developed by Purism... Shows what I know. It runs very poorly on the PinePhone and uses way too many animations and gestures for my taste. This is part of the reason I'm still not able to use the phone reliably. If there was a keyboard as good as Android or iOS options in terms of speed and accuracy, then I would expect to see good text based interfaces popping up. But the keyboards I've seen have still been pretty clunky. The SXMO image for Pine64-Arch [1] seemed pretty nice, but clearly still in development of the basic features.

    Most users report that phosh works smoothly and without issues on Mobian. You might have issues with your install or hardware.

    I did enjoy playing around with SXMO! Thought it did a great job of showing what a power-user interface on a handheld device could be like (when it is not just and Android/IOS clone). That said, there is more to do before it is ready to be a DD.... That pretty much just leaves Phosh or Plasma for mobile DEs. IMHO Phosh is way more usable right now (particularly if you use the great Tweaks app developed for PostmarketOS). https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/postmarketos-tweaks/ https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/postmarketos-tweaks/ (I believe a version of the Tweaks comes bundled with Manjaro Phosh and it can be built from source on Mobian Phosh too...)
