@purrperl@noc.social @channelOwen@fosstodon.org SailfishOS is really a mobile OS, not a desktop reskinned as a phone. From what I've read it's also the only Linux phone OS that can be a daily driver unless your needs are very limited.
Getting your IDE to work is definitely possible, but there most likely aren't any ready made packages, you'd be on your own to compile it.
If you know Linux, you can do pretty much anything (I recently packaged Proton Bridge for SailfishOS, for example), it just might be a bit harder.

@chrastecky@phpc.social @purrperl@noc.social @channelOwen@fosstodon.org like, Linux kernel, X11 or maybe Weston these days, a custom DE designed for touch screens, your usual directory structure and there you go, non-desktop gnu for your phone. Really it's the DE that makes all the difference. The rest is drivers (that may dictate the kernel's version) and specific kernel build settings
