It turns out pinephone is quite usable as a normal linux desktop too, I installed gdm on it and hooked it up with an external monitor and mouse and keyboard, then launched gnome wayland session, running firefox, watching youtube etc inside gnome shell is quite smooth Smile

bingch,
I have been following your git overlay for the Pinephone and I have a few questions for you. Is there anyway to compile Gentoo on the device itself as I have no computer currently running Gentoo (I use mostly ARM based workstations)? I understand that this would take a considerably longer amount of time. I've been trying to use the Aarch-minimal bootable SD image as it includes the newer gcc-10.2 and most of the packages for needed for building Gentoo/P-Boot etc. Thanks in advance for any tips you can give me and all your work on the repository.
