Ubuntu Touch Q&A 203 will be live this Saturday 14th November at 19:00 UTC.
If you have any questions on or about Ubuntu Touch and UBports please post them below and we will do our best to answer them in the Q&A.
Remember that questions on porting to device **** or its status, and questions on bugs, will not be answered.
@UBportsNews Hi, I have a question for this news Canonical recently announced they are accelerating Ubuntu Core Desktop to eventually become the default 100% Snap-based desktop experience. If traditional . deb desktop packages receive less maintenance in future LTS releases (like 26.04 or 28.04), how does UBports plan to adapt Ubuntu Touch's base beyond 24.04? Will you rely more on maintaining your own . deb stack over Ubuntu minimal/server, or do you see adopting more of the Snap ecosystem?"
Perrete@forums.ubports.com 3 days ago @UBportsNews The team is outdoing itself with all the improvements Mir2 and 26.04 will bring once they are mature, congratulations for advancing so fast and thank you once more for your time and dedication.
Is there any other area or OS feature that UT needs to “catch up on" when compared to other Linux distributions (mainly Ubuntu)? What are you most excited about in the next release? What are you looking up to for when Mir2 rolls out and the team has to look somewhere else?
Hello, @ubportsnews !
I hope everything is going well❤️.
Everyone is getting hype 'Mir 2' with 26.04-1.x.
But what is it actually?? What's are the features, benefits ect?

Good evening!
A thousand thanks again for this OS, a project that put everyday a smile on my face.
How can we get the OpenStore working on 26.04 (mir2 🙂 )?

Hi @ubportsnews
As Ubuntu Touch approaches another important milestone in its community-driven journey, what is the long-term strategy to ensure the project remains sustainable, relevant, and competitive over the next 10 years?
Does UBports believe that more aggressive modernization is necessary to attract new developers and users while preserving the project's original philosophy?
