The world of Linux Handhelds in 2018

I'm keeping it modular and simple: Jolla's Sailfish X on a Sony Xperia, and a Jorno bluetooth keyboard.

All my development tools run on a native terminal (Emacs, SBCL, Erlang). SSH 'just works'. Android apps too, if I really need any of them.

Basically, for my needs, it's an ultra-portable computer with the benefits of telephony. (And protected - on trips - in an absurdly over-the-top armored case by Love Mei.)

Is it difficult to install Sailfish on the Sony Xperia?

No, it's not hard and it's officially supported by Jolla. Note that Sailfish X is a commercial product, it costs 50 EUR:

Thanks, it looks like a VPN is needed to purchase from the US.
