Well I got mine. I'm torn between "will it just sit on the counter/will I use it" as I use a Moto 5 already(low end phone with 3GB ram). Still it is a dream of mine to have everything on a phone as far as dock/develop on it. I mean I don't know if you'd ever be able to do vms but if you could run generic environments, pull down a repo/work on it, that would be pretty cool. Also will try to get more into Linux specifically I'm after some kind of i3-wm toggle for performance gain. Mostly hoping my support can help speed up the 8GB device ha.

A bunch of my old phones are sitting around doing nothing.

Edit: I guess maybe part of it is a "future development/emerging market" thing maybe I can develop apps people would want on Linux phones in the future.

In particular Qt/some native GUI/hopefully cross platform and to get more into C++ as I'm coming mostly from JS "wHy CaNt I uSe DyNaMiC tYpInG" ha that was a struggle.
