How is the experience nowadays on the os?
Is it stable?
How are the apps?
How is LTE performance?
You're viewing part of a thread.
Your arguments are right, indeed, though they are rendered a bit moot when we're in a thread discussing Ubuntu Touch, which is like, 10 times more insecure than any custom Android ROM, since it uses a desktop Linux security model pretty much.
True. I still suppose up to date Linux is better than outdated Android
Ubuntu Touch is not even that up to date, really. It only recently rebased to 20.04 from 16.04 and 20.04 will go EOL next year, while there's still no promises on how they plan on transitioning to the next LTS release (I get that they're a team of volunteers while Google is a massive corporation, but working on what was essentially abandonware to begin with was likely a disservice, as other mobile Linux distros can follow the upstream a lot more closely than Ubports does).
True. Crazy, 24.04 is soon out.
Mainline Kernel support is coming to modern phones. That would make porting a bit easier.
But the question may be why you would even want that, as phones have nice ecosystems. While my Laptop breaks all the time, my GrapheneOS never does.
I have heard that 20.04 will be supported until 2027.
They’re still adding features in the latest update.
Also in their blog they said they’re planning to upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 base OS when that comes out.

Only if its support period somehow got extended, normal LTS support period is 5 years.

Must have missed that then. That's reassuring, in that case.
