Yeah, this stuff can be frustrating and the on-screen keyboard operation can be aggravating. One possible solution to that if you don't have the accessory hardware keyboard is to use a USB keyboard, though if you don't have a "Convergence" edition phone you'd need to get a suitable USB dock.
Check the permissions on your ssh host keys as it says at the end here. The wrong permissions can cause the "no hostkey alg" error message:

(Remember, things like ssh are not specific to the Pinephone. Any info pertaining to recent versions of Debian, Ubuntu, or even Mint are applicable.)
Another thing you could do would be to TEMPORARILY get telnet going so you have a standard-type terminal to work with instead of having to put up with the Pinephone screen and software keyboard. (Since telnet is a simple protocol without encryption dating to the prehistoric, early days of the internet there's not much to go wrong with it.) Then disable/remove telnet once ssh is working. Since telnet has zero security you don't want to leave it running after you don't need it.
