Can you get Whatsapp, messenger, and Duo? Would you just use the web based versions?
Lastly, is this thing powerful enough to run a VM in it? I'm a big fan of Microsoft's Your phone program. Also is there SMS texting on the Pinephone?
Thanks for the annoying questions.
Yes I use the web for discord and Youtube.
There's a libpurple plugin for SMS and most OSes include some kind of libpurple UI (like chatty or finch or pidgen) but I've found it's pretty unreliable. I prefer to use an XMPP client and relay via jmp.chat for SMS/MMS.
Qemu runs, I haven't tried using KVM.
