What is the easiest way to replace a cellphone with a mini laptop [closed]












0















Given the security concerns that seem to surround modern cellphones in general and Android phones in particular, Ḯ'm considering to move away from using a cellphone and replacing its most important functionality with Free Software products that would run on a mini laptop. I wonder if other people have already been doing this and if there exists guides for doing this easily. My current plan is to get a laptop with an integrated 4G router or with a separate laptop and a 4G hotspot. There obviously exists quite a lot of functionality in a smart phone whereby I believe that compromises need to be made in other fronts too apart from the obvious compactness issue which I will simply have to tolerate for now.

    This seems like a discussion and opinion topic, unrelated to Ubuntu support. If you are just discovering security concerns about mobile devices, you're about a decade behind.

  • Not sure what "mini laptop" is, but you can buy tablets that accept SIM cards and their "footprint" is about 8" to 12" on average.

I think the gpd pocket 2 may be worth looking at. Here's a video review (with windows though) and here's a linux compatibility overview. There's also this optimized ubuntu mate version.
