So at least there is hope. Any idea if anyone is working on it?
A lead developer at UBports is hard at work on it. It's for Ubuntu Touch, but will work on other distros and devices.
Ok that sounds hopeful. If the onboard cameras can be made to work with browser based video calling (as offered by Wire or Skype) then a PinePhone Pro would have almost everything I need to be able to replace a cheap Android phone as my main phone.
