Making progress, having looked back at Acid Andy's "needs external monitor" statement I plugged an HDMI cable into the Pinephone docking bar and it turns out that after the few lines of "starting kernel" it ultimately jumps to a login prompt, albeit only on the serial output. So then I discovered that the serial console app CuteCom, I am able to perform console commands... I'm impressed! So just to bring this up to date I did the startx command and here's the output:

I've messed with xserver a bit in the past so there I'm going.
