I don't feel any problem in not being able to run banking apps on my phone
Neither do I. I do my banking at home, on my laptop.
But then I use a bank that still allows customers to not use the app! Those are getting scarce here.

Firstly thanks to the community, Ubuntu Touch on my Fairphone 4 on 24.04-1.1 RC1 is awesome!
I would like to ask regarding the future of Ubuntu Touch, is it planned to move away from a Ubuntu base and move to something like Debian for example? If not, what are the advantages of a Ubuntu base?
Hi,
I have installed Ubuntu Touch on a FairPhone 5.
I would like to configure MAC randomization on the WIFI connection.
I have not been able to find this as a setting in the config app.
The normal way of doing this with the NetworkManager is by setting these kinds of properties in the config files
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes
wifi.cloned-mac-address=random
What I found on my phone is that apparently the /etc/NetworkManager.conf and /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d are all on a readonly file system.
The /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections is explicitly mounted on a special directory which is writable.
So far I have only come up with these steps, but they seem to me like too much of a hack.
Adding an extra conf.d directory in a writable location (next to the place where the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections is mounted)
Copy all files that are already in there to the new location
Add an extra mount line in the /etc/fstab
Mount it
Add a new config with the above mentioned lines.
My question is simple: What is the proper way to enable MAC randomization on Ubuntu Touch? Or is the above mentioned way the best available solution?

Hello.
Are you connected via ssh or adb?
In that case, the command to copy is CTRL Shift C and the command to paste is CTRL Shift V.
To change the UT interface (which suits me perfectly), search for Launcher modular in the OpenStore.
Hello forum,
Since 24.04-1.1 rc1 I noticed that my micro SD card is read only mounted. I use a Volla X23.
Is this issue known?
Thank you very much and best regards

but sharing about overall experience, I'm really happy with FP5. It works flawlessly with my 4k monitor and docking station. I can just plug it and use from mouse/keyboard/monitor. That's just awesome. FP4 was probably working similarly with FHD but I don't have any low resolution screen anymore, so I never tested it (I just can confirm that it couldn't drive 4k resolution).
I just hope FP7 will have fully fictional USB-C again (as FP6 allows only charging, no docking capabilities!!!)
from what im reading its asking me to build package sources like indicator-network and i think that is needed because i ran lomiri once i got the setup no apps worked and when i restarted it failed to run so what do i need to b
