I wish it was not based on postmarketOS but on more popular Debian, where more packages are available (or PureOS).
It would be good to be able to change brightness on the login screen.
For sure would be nice to have a 'Help' menu item - on my next retooling pass i'll try to take a stab at this to make a menu item to pop open surf with the Userguide rendered as HTML.
Regarding Debian base - I'm unlikely to push forward with it because I like Alpine/pmOS alot better : ) But that said - there's nothing stopping someone from porting to Debian. My next step on distro/infra/images is to port to pmOS proper (e.g. to allow selecting sxmo as a UI in pmbootstrap and also having pmOS's infra roll the sxmo images).
And about brightness on login screen - it's tough with XDM; though I suppose we could launch lisgd there - would be easy enough; though the user spends so little time there so hadn't really thought about it.

I have set mine to (e.g.)
Layer 2 -> L2, Shift -> Sh (etc).
Agreed - I want to make the font bigger - there's a patch on the ML right now that might help but will see. And also this is a good idea about using L2 / Sh or better abbreviations. Will probably need this to bump up the fonts in anycase.
On image resizing - yeah it's unfortunate but the way the infrastructure is setup currently for pmbootstrap (and the image export option used).. this doesn't allow this image resizing easily. Hopefully the move to pmOS repo for the APKBUILDs will resolve this issue.
