Volla Phone X23 comes in two platform options. The brand’s own Volla OS & Ubuntu Touch, you can easily switch between operating systems using the multi-boot function.
Can anyone explain to me why anyone would want a dual OS? It seems rather odd to me… its like someone wanting 2 web browsers for different purposes.
i use 2 web browsers for 2 different purposes. One for college one for personal.
You have 2 web browsers on your phone? Also why not just using a vpn?
Ubuntu Touch can be as limiting as Android, with without app ecosystem. It is design without free root access in mind.
I would much rather see PostmarketOS as an option, but deGoogled-first phone is also awesome.

The issue I have with these alternatives is the compatible apps list is short. You may as well just flash your standard phone with LineageOS or GrapheneOS, atleast you can sideload some android apps on those where needed.

For some people apps from F-Droid are enough. If we would get at least half the app base as on F-Droid alternative OSes are going to be usable.
With systems like PostmarketOS we could have personal computer that fits in a hand and have radio communication. We are going there, there are more Linux apps every month. The biggest problem I think is more phones with more open hardware.
