I can't say which distro grandparent is using on their Pinephone, but when they say split-screen they could very well mean, literally, what one would find on a desktop.
While personally, this sounds cumbersome to me, some people have very unusual ways of using their Pinephones. To me, that's awesome - we've settled on "how one uses a mobile phone" based on what Google and Apple have designed. Having new, off-the-wall ideas will lead to some people doing slightly insane things, and I say that in the most positive way possible.
Finally, as long as we're straying firmly off-topic: What some people are doing with their mobile Linux devices always reminds me of an Apple ad [0], from when "Think Different" was still the motto of an underdog.
> You mean Picture in Picture or split app screen?
Please not their implementation of split screen brought to the iPhone. Years of working on an iPad Pro, and I still trigger it accidentally when I don't want it, can never trigger it when I do want it or get rid of it, and always wind up having to Google it again.
