This phone was beyond strange, but so much fun exploring it. Ubuntu Touch has come quite a ways since I looked at it in 2020.

Volla OS Video Update (July 2021) – https://youtu.be/HaSzGMXqPc0
I was hoping for more on the hardware side, but it is still an improvement from last year!
Here was the Linux Phone playlist (Pinephone and misc. linux phone os's): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFELJ3E_-G4&list=PLc7fktTRMBozzhku71CNDT5fbERWciZAN
how you could tell i use Linux as a daily driver: *Saw the terminal icon, jizzed all over te place. The bus driver did not like it, and the kids in the school bus were confused
There is a new android emulator to run your banking up, etc on it
We need a revisit on linux on phones for early 2024.
you said "linux phone nobody asked for" I think this is dumbest review opening ever
Hello from New York City! Curious about how Windows the browser on your phone Can it run and install Progressive web apps (PWA)? Thank you for informative video. Have a good day.
Ios and Mac is Linux/Unix
192.168.69.* lol
I've always wondered what happens if you install gnome tweaks and other tools on a phone
if they smoothed out waydroid and made it easier to install on ubuntu touch phones, ubuntu touch would be much handier. it's still suitable for a daily driver, if you don't do much. linux phones need to take off and become more popular. sailfish x is the best imo, but they need to make it available world wide..
Add a comment…
no 5G .
What other phones are there that don't use Android / iOS?
I am sick of "APPS" they needs to keep it to the browser.
1:35 Is that becuase it's wired for USB 3.0 5gbit standard? Seems weird not to have native support for external displays and the such being type-c.
Linux should be able to use youtube. Does the phone not have enough space to hold the needed libraries?
you can run andriod apps on linux so no problem if need be
No video out kills this instantly.
I still dream of the proposed ui that was in the world when the Ubuntu phone project was canceled the unity 8 shell was going to be a tab based browser accros multiple apps and content sources … with a singular search …
Thé paid developers for the os designed everything you bc see before home punch camera and notches where apart of mobile design what Ubuntu touch us now is just their work with several tweets and omissions by a small group of volunteers maintaining what’s left of the project the fact that it even runs is great but it will not look good on any modern phone unless given a major ui update
Linux is great for people with jobs because android has gotten as bad as Apple with gimmicky garbage that just ads cost not profit. The only thing holding me back is software mainly HDR banking.
I honestly feel like a top down view of the phone would have been better to give people an idea of latency and screen responsiveness. Even a side by side of the VNC and a top down view of the phone itself would have been nice. All in all, thank you for this video! 👍
Just compile your apps to Linux
The difference between Android and Linux computer is that Android was elected as the ultra portable windows.
You can use the UT Tweak Tool app to switch to windowed mode btw
how about my phones … i want linux too. i bealive there is a way
9:46 are you sure thats the correct command? I tried it but i didnt do anything.
How does Volla OS compare to /e/ OS in terms of privacy and security?
Isn't android basically linux? I mean, you can even install a terminal if you wanted to
I want to use linux phone :), but now, i use android, cz the app that i use(some banking apps) on android isn't available on e.g ubuntu touch :). But linux phone is great :').
Nokia N9 device could do all that amazing tricks with terminal and other things 8 years a go. Shame on Nokia for killing such a nice device and Meego development in flavor of a brand I won't going to name here. Stephen Elop killed the real Linux experience in mobile devices.
I would love to move to a Linux phone but not yet..
Just use scrcpy-win64-v1.17 from github to mirror your phone using the charge cable to PC. Also you don't "Jailbreak" and Android phone. You "Root" Android. iOS is what you jailbreak. Sony Playstations is what you Jailbreak. Anything George Hotz hacked is when you use the term "Jailbreak."
You are NOT supposed to use APT or dpkg in Ubuntu Touch, coming from a guy who ported ubuntu touch.
Its better to carry a pi computer 😒
You shouldn't need a SIM card for GPS. You would need it for location based on cell towers.
too limited…not worth the tinkering….they just need to put a normal distro…and make a phone UI and switch whenever it isnt docked something like samsung dex
