      On Q&A 181, Lee said that recent devices are harder and harder to port. Why is that the case? Shouldn't it be easier with Treble? Or are there some new limitations, such as locked bootloader?

      @pparent Good for you. I have tested more heavily this solution and it's promising, but I suspect that there are still a bug or two in systemd itself and I need to clear the air about it before suggesting it in a QA.

      That was the old UI and doesn't exists anymore. You can modify the code if you're familiar with QML/JS. Or you can download home screens app like Launcher Modular from the store but those acts like a normal app. You also can't disable the Launcher (left side bar) since it is integral to the overal design. May I know what you're trying to achieve and why the current Launcher and App drawer isn't enough?

      @Caedem likely not how it works. The 3.5.1 was the last xenial release. Those 9k focal devices, are those who moved from xenial to focal. So there would be a bit less than 4k xenial left with numbers shrinking. And we need to drop them for security reasons at some point. Or can you justify providing a unmaintained insecure system? Also some older devices will simply die due to hardware breaking.

      Based on current state, Ubuntu Touch works better as a tech experiment than a daily PC replacement, mainly due to app support and desktop limitations. If you want to try anyway, Fairphone with external display support seems the least frustrating option for now.

      I would apreciate something to get rid of the cookie questions. Something like addon "I still don't care about cookies". Maybe someone knows how to achieve it.

      A small text size and a lack for a Setting to adjust all the different text sizes individually, as well as a general scaling factor for all text types is really a headache. Text adjustment is needed to improve usability. If this means rewriting code, it still needs to be addressed. There is no way around it. Text size(s) needs to be easily adjustable in Settings without falling outside of screen limits. Scaling makes everything bigger, even icons. Icons should be able to scale separately. Like in a modern desktop linux, which is a newbie's reference. It is also difficult to understand for newbie the scaling in desktop mode, since it is set to 8 instead of for instance 24 on the device. Changing desktop mode scaling affects the scaling on the device after disconnect from external monitor. Two different scalings are needed; a separate one for desktop mode to not mess with the device scaling.

      Nice to hear Ubuntu Touch worked well for her, that is a fun way to learn the basics. You might also set up a simple contacts shortcut or favorites list so she can call family faster.

      Maybe the public can be divided into subgroups with different needs. Ubuntu Touch has to fulfill those needs. Newbies that are not so into terminal coding generally say Ubuntu Touch is buggy. That the text is so small overall. That the text cannot be easily adjusted. They cannot see the text! Major road block for some. The cookie nagging in Morph browser can drive somebody nuts, especially if they can't figure out how to block those cookie questions. Adblock exists in Openstore, but there may be difficulty to find a cookie question block solution. Or youtube ad blocking. Some newbies want a laptop Ubuntu Touch like a Xubuntu desktop. Few understand that literally means to work inside a Libertine container with a terminal, inside Ubuntu Touch, but still isolated from Ubuntu Touch. That they need a device with USB3, external monitor and desktop mode to get things done. Or with snaps. It is not easy to grasp how Ubuntu Touch really works inside as a newbie. Major road block. Offline GPS navigation with route planning is definitely on many newbies wishlist. If this part is too buggy it cools down emotions. Music player is there thankfully. Signal is probably one such app that has to exist on Ubuntu Touch natively and work well. There is no way around it. Communication is high priority for some and a show stopper for many if not available. Comparison: zoom does not exist for linux aarch64. Games do not focus on snapdragon chips. Result: people regret buying an arm computer because their wanted apps are not there. Same with linux distros lacking those apps people want. Others want EPUB3 in night mode with proper fonts and good rendering. Try to find any android app that can render epub3 with inline svg graphics as well as those two most used apps in Openstore. Here is the uniqueness in Ubuntu Touch. Still, the epub3 viewers have some noticeable bugs which cools emotions. Night mode flickering between pagination is one. What is downloaded most usually is most wanted by many. Many times it is games. The core apps are expected to be there but maybe do not get as much attention. Gameboy emulator is really good! No bugs there. Lets look at the app ISODrive. It really solves a big support issue. But it does not work in 24.04/daily. Creating a bootable USB-stick when your laptop needs reinstalling is a nightmare when you are travelling, right? Here you have a unique thing, but it is not working. Why not fix it? Such things make effect because they are needed and solve a real problem that arises quite frequently.

      Logging into the forum doesn’t block shop access, but if the shop says “wrong password”, it’s usually an account sync or password issue. Try a password reset first.
