with the new 20.04 based version we will see the use of the newer Mir version on UT.
what benefits will this change bring? will there be a performance improvement? do you already know what new features could be introduced with the new mir?

with the new base and the new mir will we finally see solved the problems that block the usability of UT on Rpi4?

we recently saw good progress in terms of feature coverage thank to ie Alfred an Alberto work. but these progress are on 16.04 based version. how much of these progress can be "ported" on 20.04 base?

BTW. there are still waiting wallpaper submitions at https://github.com/ubports/ubports-wallpapers/issues 😉

@jro There's plenty stuff happening regarding the move to 20.04 look here: https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/development/core/-/merge_requests?scope=all&state=merged

@ubportsnews congratulations and good luck to everybody!

@b-karloff said in Today Is Q&A...Blog Day!:

I have a question that I don't think i've seen adressed in the previous UBports Q&A. Maybe it has.

The best way to get that question answered is to wait until there is a new Q&A announcement, which will always be posted with a companion topic marked something like 'post your questions here'. If you post in that, your question will be considered for the Q&A.

Works with Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Merlin. But first I had to reinstall the 0.8.8 installer because I clicked away this udev message. Then I was able to install the new version.

@ubportsnews
"Big thanks to the UBports installer team for putting it together. Special thanks to Johanna (Neothethird) for their major input to installer development. The latest iteration is 0.9.3."

Little mistake here as last one is 0.9.5 😉

With Shift we have a commercial partner, so they will want that port to stand out.

What about HalloWelt ?

@bre34 No you understood wrong, we are updating to 20.04 but that doe snot mean that our paradigmas and assumptions about how this OS should be will change as well. IDeally it will look the same thn with 16.04 and users wont even notice anything.

My Pixel 1 (2016) still works as it is updated by the LineageOS rom. I got it in 2020 and it still gets updates. Likely it has had updates for the past 5 years. The intent of LineageOS is to extend the life of your phone longer before you need to replace it. The latest update I got gave me the Android 11 layout which I like.
