"I would suggest trying a few different operating systems from the sd card first,  then install to the eMMC drive." can I do the same on this Ubuntu Touch device?

Yes, all of the Pine phone versions can boot from an sd card.

Eventually you may want to update to a more recent mainboard revision.
  these are available in the Pine store.

If you are new to "Linux Phones"  be aware you may have to learn a little.  Linux is different,
        and the Mobile operating systems are just getting to the beta stage.

That is,  It should  'work' with a few rough spots, you may need to fiddle with it sometimes to make it work.

   If an update breaks the system,
        you may need to reflash the operating system to an earlier release.
