@herr-b Thank you so much for this question! @UniSuperBox Thank you so much for removing ReCaptcha! I read here since more than 6 months but when I saw ReCaptcha I did abort the registration at the forum. ReCaptcha is really terrible and I also try to avoid Google services. I am still not happy about Akismet but willing to accept it which is the reason why I did now finish the registration. It is very exiting and awesome to see what happens at UBports to get the choice not to use Android or IOS and get back some privacy.

@AppLee I decided to install ubuntu just because it was simple and anyone can do it, and this will help users to keep their data safe, unlike the android with its propriety and a bunch of hidden backdoors

@C0n57an71n said in Security on UT: @trainailleur There where another articel that was refering to the same test done in UK. I will try found it again if you are curios. I found the actual UK evaluation on the Wayback Machine. As suspected, there is no mention of Ubuntu Touch at all: End User Devices Security Guidance: Ubuntu 12.04 The article you linked was indeed wishful thinking and bad extrapolation. (Anyone interested in reading this may want to act fast, as the Internet Archive is currently under threat of being sued into oblivion.)

@libremax agreed. Ordered mine! Can't wait!

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

The news is widely reported on the Internet, for example by omg! ubuntu! : https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/06/pinetab-is-now-available-to-order

Thanks everybody for the help with this; all sorted now. I'll use the Topic Tools next time asking a question. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@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.

I suggest to read the issue here.

@Lakotaubp Thank you. :folded_hands_light_skin_tone:

@mooncosmique I just wrote a post in porting session to share my porting effort on Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet (10,1") but really usable and light. Have a loot at it, if it fits with your needs

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
