I started going through all the games on Flathub, writing down what works, what doesn't. I'm honestly impressed. I assumed everything would just crash, but out of the 15 or so games I tested, only one crashed. Almost nothing is made to play nicely with a touch screen, but if I plug in a mouse and keyboard (via USB-C hub)
then about 70% of games so far just work. Only 30% don't fit on the screen, so scaling is already being handled admirably well

There is a caveat though that in landscape mode, most games have the top and bottom of the screen cut off by the phosh UI elements. That's likely an issue with phosh that will go away as it gets more polished.

I'll post here with a real list once I've made some progress

Nice! I'm looking forward to the keyboard to use with emulators. If the same controls for OpenArena are used on the pinephone that were used on the n900 I will be very happy too.
