I can recommend Ubuntu Touch, having used it on my phones for 10 years now. Easily flashed onto many Android devices, for a de-Googled phone that works

#UbuntuTouch

Something I missed when I first mentioned that Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10 is now available. While this is a relatively minor update, it does add official support for a new device: the $199 Rabbit R1 handheld AI gadget. https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/ubuntu-touch-20-04-ota-10-release-3972 #UbuntuTouch #MobileLinux #RabbitR1

Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10 is now available with some minor changes and a new upgrader function that will let users move to Ubuntu Touch 24.04 once it's available. #UbuntuTouch MobileLinux https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/ubuntu-touch-20-04-ota-10-release-3972

@span strypey Regarding #postmarketOS and #Mobian, the "one app version […] works on any variant" thing has an answer you may or may not like: Flatpak, and ship that on https://flathub.org, using the GNOME or KDE runtimes. If MetaInfo/AppData is set correctly, it will show up in flathub's Mobile Collection even: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/metainfo-guidelines/#mobile-collection

Unfortunately, that would leave out #SailfishOS or #UbuntuTouch, although that's possible, too - look, e.g., at Pure Maps and Amazfish, which are available "everywhere". Unfortunately, with the drive to migrate things to Qt6 (distributions would like to stop shipping Qt5 eventually), Sailfish OS and Ubuntu Touch may be left behind until they catch up. Going web based or using Flutter are other ways to get some cross platform support, unfortunately always leaving out one of the #MobileLinux contenders.

I (Peter) did a talk about that very problem at #FOSDEM 2024 (https://archive.fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3303-the-linux-phone-app-ecosystem/ and later updated it for FrOSCon (no recording, slides https://programm.froscon.org/2024/system/event_attachments/attachments/000/000/849/original/the-linux-phone-app-ecosystem-reloaded.pdf)

@Tutanota going further away from the android/AOSP-derivatives: another solution is Linux distributions on smartphones:

- I personally daily drive #SailfishOS for more than a decade (commercially supported versions of SFOS even have "Android App Support" running inside a container for "that one app" with no native linux port you can't get without)

- I've heard positive things about #postmarketOS and #UbuntuTouch (but don't have personal experience)

Alternatives to Big Tech/Big Data:

Windows, Apple, Google -> Linux (Debian, Fedora, Mint, Arch...)

Microsoft Office -> LibreOffice (Only Office would also work, but the founders are Russian, who knows...)

Google Android, Apple iOS -> Pixel with GrapheneOS, Fairphone 6 with /e/OS, Brax 3 with iode OS/Ubuntu Touch

OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, etc. -> Nextcloud, MEGA, pCloud, Proton Drive

Outlook, Gmail, etc. -> Proton Mail, Tutanota

Airdrop, Link to Windows -> Localsend, KDE Connect

WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage -> Signal, Element, Threema

Google Search -> Ecosia, Qwant, Startpage, Duckduckgo

YouTube -> Peertube, or as an anonymous YT client: Freetube and Newpipe

Instagram -> Pixelfed
Facebook, X (Twitter) -> Mastodon, possibly Bluesky

Truly secure and anonymous VPN: Mullvad!

This is just a first overview of the most important alternatives for switching. Feel free to continue if needed!

L'interfaccia desktop nativa pensata per #Android 16 è molto interessante

Ma se ad un passo avanti se ne affiancano 2 indietro tutto è vanificato:
- Google Play Integrity API
- Direttiva "RED" 2014/53/UE

E addio a sblocco boot loader, modding e custom rom; che fine faranno le varie #lineageos #grapheneos #ubuntutouch solo per citarne alcune tra quelle che utilizzo? Verso quale direzione controllo globale stiamo andando?

I have been using an #UbuntuTouch device for a few days, which has actually been a delight. It's been really impressive to see how far it's come since I last tried.

Sadly, Signal are arses, and there is still no viable signal client on mobile Linux, so I am with great sadness flashing Android.

If not for Signal, which I need to keep in touch with friends and family, I would be able to ditch Android at last and use a phone that would bring me delight.

as some might recall, we were working on a feature to allow multi booting different systems easily and without any hassle ( partitioning etc).

around that time we started to get in contact with known porters of different systems such as #UbuntuTouch and #sailfishos

after much effort and work, i can confidently say that the #flx1 will be added to the #UBports installer and OTA server soon allowing allow bare metal and multi boot installs!
