"But it's really exciting to be able to `ls` and `cd` and `ssh` on a phone..."

Can you boot to a shell without starting GNOME?

I wouldn't rule it out but I don't know how to. I guess you would need a keyboard connected via USB to be able to input in that scenario

    Wouldn't you just disable the display server like any other Linux OS? I'm sure they're using systems, so it just just be:

    > sudo systemctl disable phosh.service

    Or something like that. I'm sure it would be pretty easy with a bit of fiddling. However, you're right that you'd probably need a keyboard plugged in because the default TTY probably doesn't have a soft keyboard.

      I use a Logitech K780 bluetooth keyboard when working on my phone, I got it mostly because of the nice phone/tablet standing slot, so there is that option as well.
