I spent part of my weekend setting up another device with Ubuntu Touch to serve as my main pocket computing device. I've been playing with Linux on various mobile devices over the years but never really talked much about it other than the random social post. So this time I though it would be fun to actually start documenting it for those who are interested in what I'm using but also for my future self to look back upon.

In this first post I'm actually doing to document 3 devices. The first is my actual phone for voice calls, some texts, and mobile hotspot when needed. The second is the Linux device I have been using as my daily driver the last few weeks for Email, chat, internet, games, stuff like that. And the third device is what I setup to be my new daily driver going forward.
