I’m not talking about the Phosh executable as much as all the other things that Phosh on Mobian is meant to provide an interface with: so much of those preinstalled applications and libs in Mobian are derived from the GNOME project, and they just haven’t been optimized enough to run well on the PinePhone’s hardware.



Oh I see, misunderstood you there. Yeah, many apps are basically just the desktop version with some pre-configured scaling to make them barely usable - but as far as I know it is only by necessity until the mobile friendlier alternative emerges. But while it is good to see the advances mobile linux GUIs make, they are still far from usable as a primary device :/
