[kwlug-disc] PinePhone woes

[R. Brent Clements]

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.
