A while ago I got a refurbished surface tablet and stuck debian on it and then installed #mobian phosh packages, and everything almost worked except I'd managed to encrypt the swap partition and I couldn't enter the password without a keyboard.

I'd gotten unl0kr (the touchscreen password entry utility) installed but it didn't seem like it was getting run.

I searched around the mobian repository and found the place where the mobian installer tells cryptsetup what script to run to prompt for the password.

I needed to add keyscript=/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/unl0kr-keyscript to entries in /etc/crypttab

Looks like next issue is power management. Currently the screen lights up with a notification saying "suspending soon" every so often.

Screen suspend answer is appears to be here

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=18719

I need to run
$ gsettings set sm.puri.phosh.notifications wakeup-screen-triggers '[]'

to change the default notification from ['urgency'] to [].

@alienghic I hadn't even considered installing mobian+phosh on a 2-in-1 until now, but I'm tempted and have a spare (broken battery connector but otherwise 100% functional) lying around..

I thought it'd be a good way to test out mobian on a touch device without having to care if I'm about to break being able to get calls from the school nurse.

So far, phosh seems totally fine on a tablet form factor. We just need more touch apps.

@alienghic @Andres4NY you could also look into the myriads of apps from KDE - more and more gets converted into adaptable form factor versions.
