This has to be the best thing I have seen developed for any Linux/ARM phone yet. Sending an SMS text message using vi or emacs, that has to be similar to a manual automotive transmission as an anti-theft device. I love it! All this in just over 200MB. Since it's so small I assume there is little point to developing an emmc installer. Thanks for sharing this.
2:31 Is the suspend by a long press or triple press on the up button specific to Sxmo or it can also be used on other Linux distributions on PinePhone?
This is great to see. I will have to rewatch this a few times. You don't happen to have specs off hand regarding ram savings? I was looking for this kind of solution but if possible "hot swap" environments if that makes sense. So when you're about to dock use the tiling manager or regular phone ui/lighter weight on the go via a button or by detecting dock. I wouldn't mind something like a Windows Phone UI(squares generally) as a precursor to the full tiling manager. "I wouldn't mind" haha being in the software industry I realize how much time stuff takes. I have a phone preordered so hopefully I'll be able to tinker with this. edit: month later I received my KDE pine phone. I "bricked" it already by changing the passwd lol due to the pin on login. Trying the Sxmo
Not useless, firstly it likely saves hardware resources. Secondly with a bit of configuration this could be faster and more efficient then a normal UI.
it's far less useless than the other offerings at this time. the fact that it runs X11 instead of Wayland alleviates a lot of problems that Phosh and KDE have, and dwm is a prime candidate for mobile tiling window manager. the entire UI is tiling, which means that while other UIs have troubles with, say, floating windows not fitting the screen, the tiling nature fixes those problems by default. that's why Android and iOS only have full screen apps.

You can also easily send mail with 'sendmail' or 'sendemail'.
I knew these coming .
I bet the airport border police will enjoy exploring all the features while looking for SMS and contacts. :-)

I could see myself using something this cumbersome if it allowed an extra hour or two of battery life.

useless but cool
Why useless...? Sounds like it could be the start of something big...
