 So just a quick follow-up: this is still nowhere near ready for everyday use by everyday folks as you basically need to use the console/ssh to install apps (Software is not currently working). Just a heads up. If you’re a dev, sure, play with it and maybe even help make it better. I’ve switched my sim card over to it as a small experiment to see how much it changes my everyday experience. 6 comments
@aral did you tested #UbuntuTouch at any point? I am considering switching to #Fairphone4 when my current device won't be usable anymore and would love to do it with #Linux instead of #Android Not sure if any of Linux mobile OS is ready for daily usage at this point...  @aral We've been testing a *lot* of desktop GNOME apps here over the past few years and making incremental changes (for projects we are involved in) and otherwise made upstream suggestions when we aren't, to make things more adaptive. We started with the default apps we felt were crucial on a phone (like key items in Settings for instance) and continue to branch out. |

Right, so after a few hours of having my sim card in it:
Can’t really use this as a daily driver (but no one has really argued that you can at any point) due to the battery life and just general issues BUT it’s so damn impressive how far things have come. I mean, for one thing, it is a phone. It does phone calls and text messages. And I’m blown away by how well even desktop GNOME apps that have clearly not been tested on mobile display responsively and – for the most part – work on the phone.
