<div dir="ltr"><div>I had originally played around with a number of the distros in the multi-boot image. My favourite by far is the Ubuntu Touch based UBPorts. By far the most elegant UI for a phone I have ever seen. However, most of the phone's functionality hadn't been implemented yet. Several others are more functional, but less convenient to use. It is getting better. I downloaded a newer multiboot image and there was definite improvements. I still need a reliable phone for daily use, and there are a couple apps I do use that I would need an android phone for.</div><div><br></div><div>Brent<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, 2 Nov 2021 at 08:39, Mark Steffen <<a href="mailto:mark@steffen.ca">mark@steffen.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I received the Manjaro edition a few months ago, it is definitely not <br>

a bit finicky.<br>

For now I use a lineage fork for my daily driver.<br>
