AVMultiPhone: (MATE) Desktop Linux on the PinePhone

AVMultiPhone is a different beast from all the Plasma Mobile, Phosh or even Hildon (Maemo Leste) based distributions for the PinePhone: It features the MATE Desktop Environment, which never was designed with Phones in mind.

Being build on postmarketOS, this quirky OS which works way better than I would have expected, unfortunately hasn't seen a release since July 1st, and upgrading currently breaks it. That aside, if you just want a distribution to use Kodi or LibreOffice with, it is definitely worth a try.
