Thanks, despite the vague question those were the kind of answers I was looking for (less so on the Arch Linux, that poo poo looks too terrifying for me at my current experience level).

You can give this book a try, too: http://www.linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

What is the deal with Ubuntu Touch? Has that project been silently dropped? There seems to be absolutely no amateur dev scene around it. XDA has people making lovely roms for almost every device and this seems like it would be equally suited to that scene.

Still happening. Over the past year a handful of phones were released (I don't think any in the US). I don't necessarily see why an Ubuntu phone would benefit from custom roms, and it's possible that any amateur development is happening as code submitted to the official Ubuntu project.
