Nemo Mobile is based on Manjaro Linux. According to the official website https://nemomobile.net/ :Built with mobile in mind - NemoMobile utilizes well developed and fully open source Mer-core. It has been optimized for mobile devices and is based on multi-platform toolkit Qt.Easy to use UX - Glacier UX as the default the use of NemoMobile is fluid and natural. It is very easy to build new user experiences.It can easily be installed on a virtual machine, so that you can test it without the need of installing it on the Pinephone.I flashed https://img.nemomobile.net/2023.05/Manjaro-ARM-nemomobile-pinephone-0.94.img.xz on my 32GB microSD card. It boots, and after some minute I can see Glacier, the GUI. It looks beautiful. The installation doesn't allow you to encrypt the device. Later I found out that only English, Suomi and Russian are available as languagese for the GUI. Neither are there other than the default, keyboards available.Glacier at a first glance (ehm ehm...) looks pragmatic and usable but... it's heavy! Changing orientation sometimes blocks the screen, there's no way to bring back the original orientation: move your Pinphone, shake it, throw it against the mirror, there's no way
