    Tens of millions around the world are, like you were, unaware that Ubuntu Touch is a good option to test. One day, they will also land here.

    Have you tried gols on desktop ? Garmin on linux sucks... https://medium.com/@euri10/gols-garmin-on-linux-sucks-f1f065f7529a It can upload activities and daily monitor, no download. Possibles issues: You have to mount your watch on the phone (I don't know how to)/send fit files over bluetooth (I'm stil trying to pair the phone with my car )... I'm pretty sure ubports can run python scripts ( as gols is)... Once you solve the issues you are done qith tracking info. But, I don't know nothing about notifications. Salut!

    @jbriones Liberapay and Patreon works fine, there is also Paypal (but less popular within the community). Also if you're in Europe you can make a SEPA wire transfer. All informations there: https://ubports.com/fr_FR/donate

    @Dnc7 Here you can have an overview of the current situation: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ But keep in mind that what is true today may be the other way around the next day Edit: Quick answer OPO is best as for now, OP3T and Xperia X are recent ports and have some known issues.

    @jbriones I know Verizon used to based on CDMA, however it is my understanding they dropped CDMA support so I am not sure, I myself have Sprint and I dont know what will happen in regards to network in the future, but UT in general currently doesnt work with CDMA, best way to find out is to just try it, and report back for anyone else that has the same question.

    The following desktop apps are working ok in OTA12 via Libertine in my tests (meaning that they launch and can, with some work arounds and patience with the clunkiness of their guis when used on mobile devices, generally made to function), and all offer some amount of functionality that is not necessarily already found with UT native apps. For apps that much more suited for desktop, like AbiWord and GIMP, I would suggest using them with an external keyboard/mouse/trackpad and/or external display. abiword - word processor file-roller - archive manager evince - pdf viewer firefox - web browser gimp - image editor gthumb - image gallery & editor gedit - text editor medit - text editor gtick - metronome for musicians youtube-dl - command line YouTube video downloader - run in Terminal app hardinfo - system information & benchmark tester xournal - note taking via touch, stylus or text; pdf annotator mypaint - illustration - note it is somewhat laggy and crash prone though easytag - id3 tag editor for audio files p7zip-full - command line archive manager for 7zip files p7zip-rar' - command line archive manager for rar files mpv - media player - open files into it from the File Manager app Best regards, Steve Berson

    @dobey Just to add what you mentioned, there is also an issue with Mobile updates in the background gobbling up cycles and RAM, when combined with say the zoom app, running multi-party or even 2 party, these items take longer and can/will slow foreground tasks, like screen sharing where the host is displaying/reading from local storage, or worse yet sharing tight VNC view to help someone with a support issue, lots of nasty secondary and exception use cases out there, and a few primary which will quickly hamper the foreground task. The solution is software int. controlled write to local storage , which uses per process/app queuing, concatenation of the session write blocks, then single block session write to store... to get within 95% of the actual media write speed... , this works w/ VRAM setups as well, when you are RAM constrained, the VRAM block writes by the OS get super fast, It's what we do at cloudprox.com on Ubuntu in the DCs and Colo space at the moment (to actually get remote workplaces to work at scale with fast IOPS/Gbsec without breaking the bank) , we are looking at how to bring the same fast write functionality on to Mobile and IOT devices, as it is indeed the choke point for everything, and will easily turbocharge ubuntu touch environs by at least 5X plus your media lasts 5X to 30X longer, and you use significantly less battery, it's the OS juggling between threads and processes which kills your battery life. r2

    It would improve the forum, though it sounds like a major rework.

    @CiberSheep Yes, more recent but also more general It lacks some technical details like this diagram :[image: 1589805598649-ut_achitectural_diagram.png] (Replace 14.04 by 16.04) I like it because it makes me feel like I get it.

    Yeah i've seen that one, might give it a go i guess i am wondering what the home container actually is, and how/if it could host a container for QML or even HTML, without having to pull apart the entire unity code to figure it out (like putting an iframe into webpage) or recompiling lots of things canonical used to havea comprehensive list of all parts of UT, that you could search through fairly easily, cant see a way to do that now (my laptop doesnt have the space to dl the entire thing from github lol)
