  Very cool! I’m thinking of going for ubuntu touch, seeing as Android has proven that it’s no longer worth the time investment. Also, Fairphone 5 is my next phone if the current one dies, so it works out.

  Could you share what do you really like about it? And what is your biggest gripe or letdown with it? Thanks!

    It’s using Hallium, which is still using Android kernel and drivers, hopefully they can keep that up while vendors are getting increasingly antagonistic.

    It is private.

    If you want to run some android apps you can use waydroid, but it torches the battery.

    If you want to run arm linux apps, you need to dork around with containers as the root os is RO.

    I’m sitting on the fence of shelling out for a decen FP
