I don’t know anything about Ubuntu touch as I’ve mostly been interested in /e/os, but I know we really need an alternative to iOS and Android.
I’d be willing to support such a project and be ready to compromise a lot.
I’m wondering if some people are managing to daily drive something like Ubuntu touch.
@Dariusmiles2123 For what it's worth, I am and I'd say it's mostly suitable for daily driving. There are a few minor issues to be ironed out here and there, but I've been between #postmarketOS and #UbuntuTouch for 2 years now.
Out of curiosity, how is it wrt messaging apps? From what I remember, the only good one used to be TELEports (for Telegram), but if you wanted to use Signal or such you were pretty much out of luck. Has the situation changed?
@H4rdStyl3z I don't tend to use messaging apps so I'm not too sure of the situation there. For Signal specifically, I did find an app called Axolotl2 which has a couple of reviews indicating that it works.
One of the problems with both Signal and Telegram on Ubuntu Touch is they don't let you sign up new accounts, only use existing ones.
If all else fails, I have heard that Waydroid works for running Android applications, but I don't use it either.
