Okay, I was able to get it running on my pixel 3a xl. so far I'm impressed. The ui looks clean and it is definitely unique from IOS and android. I dont think it lets you go back to the home screen so you're stuck in your most recent app.

It looks like theres no firefox on the open store and I will have to live with Morph and I will have to adapt to Pure maps. (I dont think it has turn navigations voice)

But hey the road is always the most rough in the beginning.

Part 2: it’s pretty stable but it does feel harder to use than iOS or android as the keyboard often covers the text view which makes editing misspellings harder.

Edit 3: for my Lemmy addiction I bookmarked Voyager and it works fine apart from it being a little slower and the the upvote button not working on the comments(I have to open the 3 dot context menu to do that).

Edit 4: Ubuntu touch feels daily drivable. Its Just that I would have to sacrifice some nice-to-haves from my phone.

Aslong as email,calling,texting and celluar data work, I can switch to this full time.

Edit 5: for banking I would have to pay off my credit cards when I get access to my laptop.

When I pay at the store I would have to pull out my credit cards to tap.

For the autheticator apps I would have to keep an old duopoly device to use it to log in services.
