Pine64-Arch

Oh, phosh is developed by Purism... Shows what I know. It runs very poorly on the PinePhone and uses way too many animations and gestures for my taste. This is part of the reason I'm still not able to use the phone reliably. If there was a keyboard as good as Android or iOS options in terms of speed and accuracy, then I would expect to see good text based interfaces popping up. But the keyboards I've seen have still been pretty clunky. The SXMO image for Pine64-Arch [1] seemed pretty nice, but clearly still in development of the basic features.

I mean its two different things: Nokia a mega corp (at the time) and Pine64 (a few hardware enthusiasts + small overworked dev community). I get your frustrations and as a PinePhone owner myself I would not consider it anywhere near usable as a real Smartphone replacement. However after installing Arch it is pretty snappy and has certainly sparked some new hope in me. I really recommend you to check it out. For Signal there is (or will be) Axolotl [-1] which looks promising and when it comes to developer support both KDE and GNOME devs show some support for it. E.g. GNOME recently announced libadwaita [0]. Give it some time and check out the Arch release for PinePhone: [1].
