One thing I love about #UBports's Click apps is that they are really easy to run without being a Click. I was expecting to have to add a bunch of random patches to decouple them from Click, but with a compile-time flag they are stand-alone apps!
This is really cool: @fredldotme just landed an initial release for #snap packages support in #ubuntutouch .
I know that not everyone in Linux was happy about Snapcraft appearing (no need to rehash that one 😏 )

Had to go back fron #Ubuntu#Touch#UBPorts to #LineageOS because i never would use a mobile without #Disc#Exncryption and UBPorts does not support this, but it worked pretty nice. Because no other Linux for #Faiphone3 available I have LOS on all devices till I can move to Linux.
We are currently supporting our longtime partners and friends from the @ubports Foundation!
10€ per sold Volla Phone with UbuntuTouch - the Linux distribution for smartphones - will go directly to the UBports Foundation!

I would love to try Lomiri on postmarketOS. Probably my favorite out of all the mobile Linux UIs. I wonder what blockers there are from it entering the main repos? I would even consider maintaining it in the repos if I had to. I guess I'll just have to build it manually...
Our friends at @volla are making a donation of 10€ to the UBports Foundation for every device sold in order to support our work!!! 😍❤️😘
Go get a #Volla22 with #UbuntuTouch pre-installed, and support us!
