I want a command line only DE for PinePhone.

• On screen keyboard (Although hardware keyboard case is coming soon to PP).

• A section for realtime interrupts like calls, messages and notifications.

• Rest of the screen for native shell to do everything else, browsing? Lynx.

Advantage of this kind of DE is that it can allow us to create phones out of low power hardware like RPi zero as well.

Have you seen https://sr.ht/~mil/Sxmo/? It has eg. “Calls & Texting: (via dmenu scripts/mmcli) Compose texts in $EDITOR / vim-like editor, read texts in $PAGER, make calls (and audio-route) via dmenu script utilizing modemmanager”

Thank you, I didn't know about it and it seems to be on the lines of what I need. I'll be exploring it further.
