Is it possible to install Arch Linux on the PinePhone.
Yes, as long as you have a suitable kernel.
However, if you browse around the UBports and postmarketOS forums etc you soon realise there are many challenges to setting up and using linux with a touchscreen and without a keyboard. Let alone tuning applications to fit a smaller screen factor and to work with touch input.
