Swiping actions being based on speed seems terrible, and all the wasted background space in the easily accessible space for right thumb, and the home button being in the most difficult corner to reach with thumb, seems like a failed attempt at Ubuntu branding by just copying the 'iconic' desktop layout :/

Please tell us if I can use such device for navigation. Is verry important for me, because I intend to buy a Lenovo Tab M10 HD 2. Generation to use it with Ubuntu touch for navigation.
@PodcastUbuntuPortugal10 күн бұрын
You mean GPS navigation? If so, than yes, there are several GPS navigation apps, I personally like uNav. However I'm not sure your tablet is supported (some versions of it are), and Ubuntu Touch doesn't have natively AGPS on most devices (just on Volla devices), which means that navigation is purely made by GPS, which is slower than most people are used to get an initial GPS position. I've visited many countries in Europe and navigated using an Ubuntu Touch device, and even crossed some very wide extensions (multiple thousands of km) using it.

What does Android do that Linux doesn't? 😅
@jondo768029 күн бұрын
@@stephensumpter5311 your question already starts wrong. First you should ask what Android doesn't which Linux does. For one it doesn't force you to open the terminal to do your work. It doesn't force you to compile your software you simply get your apk and run it. And if you uninstall it you can be sure that it's gone, no bullshit left on the device only exception is a single folder, the downloads folder, and other folders only if you gave the permission. Which is what Android does great which Linux doesn't. Permission management. It's easier than beating the first level of Mario Bros, which even 3 year old children manage to do. It also has awesome sandboxing, programm x wants to steal data from y? Well only if I give them both the permission to access the same folder. Well my file manager has access to all files that's not good. Well luckily I can deny Internet access with 4-5 touches. And I can even teach my dad how to do it. He will forget it in a month but at least not in 10 minutes.

looks like it has potential, but it's clearly not polished. perhaps figuring out how to run .apks directly into linux at native performance would be the game changer.

Running APKs is not a goal, the goal is to do different. However, you can install Waydroid and run android apps there. Ubuntu Touch main feature is convergence, and not spying on users, and allow people who participate on the project to contribute to the definition of its future.

Gesture based navigation across all apps is too much to ask of ubuntu devs (its not even fluid systemwide on iOS) - its way harder to implement and is many more lines of code. Use 2/3 button navigation instead, and Ubuntu Touch would run well on decade old phones. Power management would be only remaining issue.

Honestly speaking, Ubuntu Touch is not a bad OS. It has all the basics you need and Waydroid works pretty well for most android apps from what understand. However, the only thing preventing me from switching is the missing support for Voice over LTE. This is really important because you can no longer call on UT since the 2/3G towers have went out of service(in the US) and you need to be able to call over LTE. Hopefully UBports is able to solve the VoLTE issue soon! You can alternatively use a sip provider (a forum member recommends Jmp Chat) with Linphone and make calls like that, but you won't be able to make emergency calls which is a pretty big deal breaker for me personally Edit: Apparently there are SIP providers that do offer the ability to call emergency services.
