Gnome Shell on my Pinephone Pro

Today I review the state of Gnome Shell on the Pinephone Pro. While it is similar to Phosh, it's still its own thing. For the purpose of this review, I installed Gnome Shell using postmarkedOS. The phone is definitely more feature complete than it was previously, but it still feels like alpha software. One of the surprises is just how much less polished than Phosh. I think for most people it is the better option if they want a GNOME like environment.

Squeekboard progress has been minimal, so it still isn't really useful for languages that require completion for entering complex characters However, it is a very nice basic keyboard.

It is also important to note that the actual software included between Gnome Shell and Phosh is basically identical.
