Taking a desktop OS to mobile phones
summary
OpenMandriva 4.3 has been ported to run on the PinePhone by adding ARM64 support, adapting the build system to support non-grub bootloaders and per-device kernels, and creating a build approach less heavy than OpenEmbedded/Yocto but able to handle many devices. Hardware enablement relied on upstream community work, while basic phone-form-factor applications are mostly available; remaining challenges include integrating Android/iOS apps for services like banking and making the experience appealing to everyday users.
