          @UBportsNews 🙂 A very good review. Honest. And refreshing. Hopefully other tech writers will begin to take note: this project wasn't killed by Canonical... it got its wings and flew.

            Would be better if it didn't advise people to change the rootfs sshd_config to enable password login, and instead set up public key login; especially given the excuse of "I don't want to set a password to enable adb."

              @dobey what are reasons for those of us who don't know. Just interested.

                @Lakotaubp Well, if you don't have a password set for the user, how can you log in with a password? Also, password login is disabled by default because it is much less secure. The documentation at https://docs.ubports.com describes how to enable SSH on the phone and add your public key to it. So documenting and recommending a less secure method, in a review article, seems pretty bad.
