Android and iOS data collection

I own a Pinephone. I use jmp.chat so messing around with the phone doesn't effect my ability to use the phone network. It's gotten a lot better, I would recommend running a lightweight X11 WM (I like fluxbox and fvwm) rather than a fat DE like phosh or kde.

I'm not used to the notion that X11 even supports touch events. I wonder what the experience is like. Will I need mobile versions of Linux software or can I expect existing desktop software to work?

Honestly I'd be satisfied if I could have a fully featured terminal and browser. Looks like the pinephone even supports physical keyboards!

The only thing you really miss is right clicks. The Gnome (not phosh) keyboard supports some of that but I prefer xvkbd.
