Unpopular Opinion: I don't want a Linux Desktop (XFCE, KDE, etc) on my phone. I don't care about being able to run terminals or `chown -R user xyz` or `htop` on my phone.

I want a phone with a decently polished OS, smooth (given hardware constraints) that can run apps that I control (deny ads, location info. etc) and provides an alternative to the Android/IOS duopoly.

I just hope that the Pine Community will realize this and focus energy and work towards having a canonical OS on the PinePhone that just works.

In this case Librem 5 would be a better fit for you I guess. This is how Purism advertise their phone.

Agreed, but irrespective of Librem/PinePhone, companies in general can build much better products when they focus on doing few things good than many things bad.

Ubuntu Touch is closer to that goal.
