@zozo23 You can browse the app catalogue here: https://open-store.io Additionally, UT allows you to install desktop apps through Libertine and Android apps through the Waydroid container, however that's a bit more involved and some things might not work.

Hi, The problem has resolved, but the reason is unknown to me. [image: 1685790074051-bildschirmfoto-von-2023-06-03-13-00-25.png] However, I had an update today, but whether that has any effect on the Firefox browser escapes my knowledge. [image: 1685790095581-bildschirmfoto-von-2023-06-03-12-40-27.png] Was probably on my side of the web. Greetings Mario

@mamaji77111 Yes, true. I had to address all those issues to get the VPN install script to work again.

@kugiigi That is nice to hear! It's a success story then! Yeah, I think if there is willingness to pay for new features and accelerated development, and I do think there is willingness here, then financial incentives can motivate all parties to more engagement. Users don't feel that lost and powerless regarding the evolution of their favorite mobile OS, and freelance developers can pick and choose from interesting and paid jobs. It seems to me a win-win!

@wizardi3 The function is not global? I don't think that is claimed, nor do I know what that would even mean. UBports is the name of the foundation and, by extension, the community. The OS is called Ubuntu Touch. Maybe that clears up some of the confusion?

@RayCulp Firstly thanks for offering to help. All help and contributions greatly received. Secondly though 16.04 will be around for a few more months I can only second what @doniks has said and put the work into 20.04 docs and information, that is the future now. Though if something affects both 16.04 and 20.04 docs and you want to update both you are free to but really there is little point as development on 16.04 has ended.

@GeekBone said in From Disappointed to Pleasantly Surprised: Time to donate. If you haven't already done so, please consider a donation to the porter of the Pixel 3a directly as well. His efforts are purely on a voluntary basis. Maybe split the amount you were planning on donating between the foundation and the porter?

@RayCulp said in Github repo for main website source?: If it seems like I'm a little unsure of myself, that's because I am. Up till now I've only ever used Github to host my own private repos. I've never actually created a single pull request. That is the beauty of PR's. You propose them, and a discussion develops around them. Suggestions for improvements can be implemented in your fork, and the PR will automatically be updated to reflect the changes.

@kristatos said in Few thoughts regarding coming back after several years: I don't understand why people want to change from iOS/Android to UT but on the other hand still want to use all their services. In my opinion one effort of UT is, that you don't have to use accounts and services from these big companies and still have a functional and free phone in your hand. I agree. Big Tech surveils you 24/7, exploits your most private data, and tries to control what information you have access to. I am so not down for that. If the only choice was Apple or Android, I would not have a smart phone.

@arubislander yeah I was hoping there was a app I missed on the open store

@ckrnkfrnchmn You can at least follow the progress regarding the current OTA here https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/development/core/-/milestones?state=opened

@LemmyMemy Development on Anbox has ceased. Waydroid is the solution that is available for limited Android app compatibility.

@LemmyMemy Give the instructions by @potet here a try. @FakeShell has an extensive thread of confirmed apps here.

Please see https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8858/ota-25-hotfix/10 A new RC as roll out that should fix the boot issue. Also for device that have fingerprint, please check if no regression.
