Phosh is a phone UI, it's not meant for notebooks and will not work properly without a touchscreen.

Yes, you can. Images are found under https://github.com/manjaro-arm/pinetab2-...g/20231016 . You can copy an image to an SD-card (e.g. with a "dd" command), and launch it. I managed to use Wifi via an USB-dongle (there is a related post in this forum), and phosh runs. Of course in a quite immature state...

you've directed OP to a repo for Manjaro PineTab 2 imgs, those won't work on the PBP.

While, OP, you can run Phosh on a PBP, you'll likely need to move into a TTY, login, and then have pamac install/uninstall the necessary packages and their conflicts. As mentioned above, b/c Phosh is meant as a handheld UI, it's not going to as pleasant to use on the PBP.
