First steps into a new world. Started a Linux course on EdX. Found an old laptop with a forgotten password and chucked Ubuntu onto it. I am completely new to understanding the tech world and feel a little overwhelmed.

I've been using my USB as a portable /home for about a year by now.

I used to have the problem of switching between PC's and Laptop's whilst changing my setup/rice almost daily.

Now I just mount an USB stick to my home directory on every device.
I mainly use my computer for development, so I'm OK with gaming on a separate dedicated user.

I also do frequent backups that just rsync the content of the USB to the local computer.
This automatically gives me the advantage of distributed backups.

With USB 3.0 there are no noticeable performance differences.
Though keep in mind that I don't have the biggest home directory, its about 2G.


To implement this setup I've just added the following to the fstab of every install and gave the USB the label SHARED_HOME.
```
LABEL=SHARED_HOME /home/user/ ext4 rw,relatime,nofail 0 2
```

Can you download and use Ubuntu touch on any unlocked tablet and/or phone?

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this kind of question. I'm also sorry for asking stupid questions in advance. I've been really wanting to get more private security on a phone, tablet, and laptop for a while now.

I read the list of phones as well tablets that can get Ubuntu touch installed on their website. However, I was wondering if it would be possible to download the installer on any unlocked device. The website https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ shows a bunch of different phones and tablets on the list that can be used to download the installer. Does this mean that you can only download the Ubuntu touch on those devices only or that those devices work best with the software? Please let me know what you guys think.
