I've been considering a Linux cellphone for a long time, and Google's latest shenanigans finally decided me. I have a new phone on order that I will install Ubuntu Touch onto. Hopefully it won't be too much of a functional hit compared to CalyxOS.

Fuck Google with a broomstick.

Also, in case it bore repeating: fuck Google.

Ive been tempted to try Ubuntu Touch aswwell, but cant get my damn phone to recognise my laptop and vice versa. doesn't matter which port or cable! ~~FYI - ubuntu touch doesnt have encryption yet, so if it gets stolen everything will be available for the thief.~~
