How is the experience nowadays on the os?

Is it stable?

How are the apps?

How is LTE performance?

    Okay, I was able to get it running on my pixel 3a xl. so far I’m impressed. The ui looks clean and it is definitely unique from IOS and android. I dont think it lets you go back to the home screen so you’re stuck in your most recent app.

    It looks like theres no firefox on the open store and I will have to live with Morph and I will have to adapt to Pure maps. (I dont think it has turn navigations voice)

    But hey the road is always the most rough in the beginning.

      Part 2: it’s pretty stable but it does feel harder to use than iOS or android as the keyboard often covers the text view which makes editing misspellings harder.

        Edit 3: for my Lemmy addiction I bookmarked Voyager and it works fine apart from it being a little slower and the the upvote button not working on the comments(I have to open the 3 dot context menu to do that).

          Edit 4: Ubuntu touch feels daily drivable. Its Just that I would have to sacrifice some nice-to-haves from my phone.

          Aslong as email,calling,texting and celluar data work, I can switch to this full time.

            Edit 5: for banking I would have to pay off my credit cards when I get access to my laptop.

            When I pay at the store I would have to pull out my credit cards to tap.

            For the autheticator apps I would have to keep an old duopoly device to use it to log in services.

    I’m hoping that gnome-mobile gets better, right now, I use gnome-mobile with postmarkedOS. But I’ll switch to arch next I think a very good solution is mobian with phosh right now, but I guess gnome-mobile is more my taste, if it would not be as buggy, lol

    I’m hoping to be able to install organic maps and Firefox with desktop extensions when I get my used phone.

    Then donate and contribute to the uports project as much I can so we can have viable alternative to android and iOS.

    Corporations need to get weaker.

    It’s pretty stable but the lack of regular Linux apps via flatpak is kind of a bummer because you will mostly have to rely on waydroid apps for most stuff. Lots of responsive apps such as gnome web are not available in Ubuntu touch

      I see there’s a snap store option for it now, but does libertine work? I remember testing ubports on my early adopter pinetab and I could never get libertine to finish its setup to install a normal app

        Same thing about libertine, didn’t work when I tried it, it just kept loading infinitely

      I’m glad to hear the stability has improved!

      I guess that is expected as the user base is smaller.
