Last I looked into that, most distros were able to run Crust on the embedded microcontroller, shutting down all cores and leaving it up to the uC to wake up the main CPU. This saves a substantial amount of power, and it seems that the device can now last around a full day.

So I'd say it can be used as a daily driver, unless you have strict requirements on app compatibility.

Speaking of which, I wonder how an emulated Android device (or even a real one) streaming video on my pinephone trough LTE would fare :)

Yeah, I keep meaning to glue together scrcpy+xvfb+x11vnc+guacamole when I get the time and motivation. Should be fun:)

Haven't looked up every project name you wrote, but that sounds like waypipe or xpra :)
