Current state of Gnome mobile?

What is the current state of Gnome mobile?

Will the patches get merged to the main branch, so it just becomes available on all diatributions?

Why has only PostmarketOS packaged it so far?

It would be nice if someone added it to the AUR, I would testdrive it

It is! I've been using it on my pinetab2 for months

I even searched for it before writing that, "gnome-shell" funny thing is I thought I saw it but I test so much stuff.

Thanks, I would hope they would add more keywords to help discoverability -- this is a common AUR situation where packages feel like they are missing keywords -- like iirc librewolf didn't have "browser" as a keyword a while back, not sure if it even does now.

Gonna give it a testdrive, many thanks :)

What would be the advantage over Phosh?

When I tried it I found the gestures to be more natural and to be smoother. Other than that, phosh is better suited for a daily driver experience, stock gnome isn't fully ready yet

GNOME Mobile is still kind of beta software that's why
