Ubuntu Touch is a nice OS for your Linux Phone

Today I go into Ubuntu Touch, walking though the general interface and all of the apps on my Pinephone Pro. For supported devices it should be flawless. For the Pinephone Pro, it has many bugs mostly caused by the half-baked drivers.

The Ubuntu spin is very interesting. Where you would swipe up on other OSes to switch apps, you swipe left and right. To create new items in most apps, you swipe up. It’s refreshing seeing a different approach to touchscreen design.

This would be a good daily driver for many people. I will be demoing the install of waydroid on this device in my next video which should remove most barriers for those gotta have apps that would keep a person on Android or iPhone

  • It’s quite frustrating. I had to use Waydroid on Ubuntu Touch just to run Android apps because it lacks a wide selection of apps. It feels almost useless.

  • "those little dots next to running applications reminds me a little bit of MacOS X" yeah and it should remind of you something else…. hmm… has the same name… goes on the desktop…

  • also check libetine if is available, also snapd allows to install app, that's what I have heard in the news

  • It is so "nice" that it is not even installed from the official installer on the Linux smartphone PP…………………………………..
