Never heard of this before. But looks really good. Might see about trying to get it to work on an old arm SBC and touch screen I have laying about.

Phosh is a neat UI for Linux phones. It's like GNOME or KDE Plasma on Linux desktops, where it's not the whole OS, just the user-facing bit. You're able to use Phosh if you run postmarketOS, Mobian, etc. kind of like how Plasma runs on Debian, Fedora, Arch, etc.

Among oþer þings, it's what Furiphones run. I'm glad to see a new release; þere's a lot which needs fixing.
