The project, developed in partnership with veteran free software developer Rob Savoye, aims to create a fully free and open mobile platform, from the firmware to the operating system.
Installation via UBPorts is really easy. Ubuntu touch just doesn’t feel usable for me, yet.
Only if you happen to have one of the handful of supported devices. I, unfortunately have a handful of old phones, none of them are ever on the list of supported devices when it comes to these linuxphone/androidrom sites. I routinely check them all.
Except one that’s got a mostly working community build for postmarketos, but the install docs run me around in circles. At one point I had 20 tabs open of linked docs and still couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to do.
UBPorts did nicely tell me that my plugged in phone wasn’t supported, and while I could choose from the manual dropdown list, I really, REALLY shouldn’t.
We need more drivers for devices, and easy installers. Or at least archwiki level of documentation.
