    @freddo I see that files on system-image.ubports.com are stored with digital signatures, so, the situation is better here, but still requires implementing mechanism of choosing mirrors in installer software. I'll take a look at that soon. Thanks

    TEXStudio is working in Libertine! The generation of sample documents went well. Tested on channel 24.04/daily on Fairphone 4. RAM usage topped at 2.7GB (free -h). Other working things that are often used together with TEXStudio in the same libertine container: inkscape (vector graphics) atril (pdf viewer) thunar (file manager) Other; mousepad (text editor) parole (music) Not working as well out of the box: emacs gedit leafpad (usable, complaining about wayland) Observations xfce software tends to work with libertine. Some windows get a window title bar that I didn't figure out how to get rid of. Some apps in libertine are in bright mode. Maybe there is a way to add dark mode theme to a libertine container. A libertine container can say you need to run dpkg --configure -a as root to fix an installation gone wrong. How to become root in a libertine container is not straight forward. su - not working. su phablet not working. libertine-container-manager exec -i noble -c "/bin/bash" and then fakeroot seems to work.

    @Sentinel Hi All, I'm just now running the install from within the waydroid helper app. Back on the stable OS it shows me that the dowload speed is around 200KB/s, the is about 900MB to download. So yes, a verry slow connection for this app... EJ

    @lifeenjoyer69 Hello and welcome. Quick run through of the channels Edge- Dragons live here only for the very experianced devs Devel- Where the latest updates get tried out and tested You can expect the odd issue on this channel. Updated daily. RC-The last testing branch before a stable release Updated now when there are real changes that need testing. Stable- Good solid everyday usage channel. This will be updated on a cycle of on average 12 weeks. (There is a new update OTA-23 on Tuesday 28th June). This system is followerd throught the year so in effect they are on a continues roll out. So you will get updates on a regular basis. So if you want small daily changes try devel it is 80-90% without issue but can go down hard. One of the great strengths of Ubuntu Touch (the OS) is the UBports Community behind it yes a few dev do get paid but the vast majority of the work is carried out by volunteers and enthusiasts. It is a very supportive, helpful community and welcoming community whatever you plan on doing or how you use your UT device. That is point it is your phone do with and use as you want. Please have a look round and read through the Forum there is plenty of info and help here. The pixel 3a is a great device (I got one a few weeks ago) so the xl should be the same. Give it a go all the help and advice you need is here.

    @cerberustech If the device is not listed here https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ is will need porting as each device requires it's own specific port.

    @francisco-reis UT does not run on Android 11 base it needs Android 9 at present. So no for now. Edit: You just need to downgrade to 9 or whatever and how the instructions say for the Mi A3 https://forums.ubports.com/topic/206/will-you-port-to-device-x I am getting a horrible habit of posting halfway through what I intend to type.

    Thanks for your detailed answers, which I really appreciate. I already have a ChromeCast 3 dongle which I used for an Android phone, and found out yesterday, that to use Chromium on PMOS has become easy. On my Windows PC, it was also very easy to mirror the screen over a ChromeCast to HDMI. I currently have VNC server connection between PinePhone and PC, but I think a WIFI to HDMI solution would be better. If I would buy a new device, I would prefer the Miracast standard, although I don t know whether desktop mirroring is as easy as with the Chrome browser. I am also positive now about LibreOffice on the PinePhone. Jacob Crume, a Robotics student in New Zealand used linux-based PinePhone daily for a year: https://news.itsfoss.com/pinephone-review/ He used four desktop environment, Plasma Mobile, Phosh and Lomiri, he spent roughly four months with each environment. He was surprised at how capable the PinePhone was as a laptop. He said he often found myself editing documents in LibreOffice. That is good news.

    @peter-gamma There is NO such thing at the moment. The only two ways to use a transparent solution is whether to use the slimport cable and a Nexus 5, or to use Miraclecast, as discussed in the thread where you decided to start that one. Sadly, it seems miraclecast uses a protocol that is not fully recognized by UT. Last thoughts: if privacy is what you're looking for, I wouldn't be too scared of the Miracast dongle. While Google likes to be perpetually online, and usually stores voice and other data, the Miracast is actually an old thing by industry standards, from a time where sharing your whole life with the www for money was really not a thing (that is, before Windows 10). I think it's pretty safe to use, especially offline

    @doniks For the Google Chrome we think it would be possible to start a thread which is as long as this tread here about the Miracast: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/7807/google-chromecast-installation-on-ubuntu-touch For the Miracast, it has been evaluated how it works on Ubuntu Touch. Unfortunately, we already have a Chromecast adapter. It is worth buying a Miracast and sell the Chromecast on ebay?

    @Keneda if i understand correctly @FelixTC want to install samba server on his phone, and other topics are about using file manager as samba client. I'm also attempting to install samba, but it's hard, you can't use apt install more here https://askubuntu.com/questions/1271175/ubuntu-touch-how-do-i-apt-get-install and i tried to do this trick with sudo mount -o, remount,rw / but i don't recommend it. In my case it broke only thing which you can use to run apt install - Libertine Containers. In those container i was able to install samba and configure it, but for now i cannot connect to it, even using localhost

    @ub A MAC address is not hardcoded in silicon. Have you heard of mac spoofing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_spoofing It's an attack method used to usurp a legitimate device's identity (MAC address)... mac spoofing is also necessary for a VM where a single physical device has many virtual ones to differentiate them we need to change their mac address. So yeah probably hardcoded in the N5's port.
