@UBportsNews Is there any place to follow the mir2 and wayland progress? Because I see many related issues on the gitlab but most have not been updated in months. The background is that I tried postmarketOS with plasma mobile on a Shift 6mq recently and there are many native linux apps already that have a working mobile interface with wayland and it would really be useful for Ubuntu Touch if you could run them here too. So part 2 of the question is: Is there an effort for libertine to support those apps with full wayland and is there a place where we can follow this more closely? (Example: gnome-calls for SIP feels like a proper mobile app on postmarketOS but on Ubuntu Touch in libertine the UI isn't functional at all).

@UBportsNews ubfortunately still doesn't support gps, does it?

I’m especially curious about performance improvements and app compatibility, because lightweight games likereally benefit from smooth rendering, low latency, and stable touch input. Th ese kinds of optimizations can make Ubuntu Touch more attractive for casual gaming and indie developers as well.

I have sent a private message to @applee with the outcome of the voting for the Community Favourite Awards. Please read it at the QA tonight!

Ubuntu Touch isnt much known to be still alive, i think that it needs more social network visibility, ideally not only those for nerds (masodon) but also having news on platforms where normal people are (fb?)

@UBportsNews Firstly thanks to the community, Ubuntu Touch on my Fairphone 4 on 24.04-1.1 RC1 is awesome! I would like to ask regarding the future of Ubuntu Touch, is it planned to move away from a Ubuntu base and move to something like Debian for example? If not, what are the advantages of a Ubuntu base?

This is awesome! Can't wait for the future of Lomiri
