        How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

              Hello, I'm Jerry. Don't have technical knowledge, just trying to use technology. Most of all leave the interference of the big companies. I have been using Ubuntu 18.04 for a few months and now will use touch when my Nexus 5 arrives. It feels so good to be free.

                      Hello World !

                      I'm "incyi", emb. software developer for around 8 years now. Mainly write in C for cortex-m microcontrollers.

                      Looking forward to work on some open-source projects. I just pre-ordered the PinePhone UBports edition.

                            Hello all together,
                            I'm on Linux since the end of '90's. I'm not a programmer or software coder. I'm building websites and manage some web and mailserver's. Sometimes I make graphics if I need them for apps or websites or Linux TV receivers.
                            I'm using iOS since 2008 as my mobile OS. I never used android devices for personally/daily usage but I've a testing devices with lineage. I was always looking for Linux Projects on Smartphones and followed the development.
                            Now I cant wait no more and decided to get a device. After all BH versions of pinephone was gone, last week was a good one with new UBports version and I orders one of them.
                            To get some "practice" I got an old Nexus5. Last Day's I'm trying to get familiar withe the file system structure and looking for the theming possibilities. By the way I tested some Anbox and Libertine options

                            So, thx for your work. Have a nice time

                                  Longtime Debian desktop user & in pursuit of convergence and eliminating monopolies of β€˜choice’ by supporting efforts that challenge these institutions. I am not a developer, but a dreamer, perhaps a seer and just excited to be part of a community that has brought such a technology to market.

                                    HelloWorld,
                                    my first distribution was Slackware on the middle of '90's. I'm a Java/Kotlin software programmer. this year I try to learn Rust, and when i saw it is possible to create native app with rust or Golang, I bought a nexus5 to install ubports \o/

                                    I am interested in exploitation of OSM data/ geolocation app, dev tools, and many more things.

                                    my first helloWorld app will be an assistant (a contextual touchBar ) of my laptop.

                                    MacKristof.

                                          @Opolork thank you! I ordered my UBports PinePhone the other afternoon, now the excruciating wait for it to ship is upon me. I’ve been using iOS for a while, but have always wished for an open source option. I use a NanoPC T4 for my personal computer and am looking for OS choices to use on its ARM64 Proc.
                                          It would be amazing if I could run ubtouch on each of my devices!

                                            @mackristof Same for me, Slackware 2.0 precisely and its 18 disquettes. A lot of patience and knowledge was needed at this time to install GNU/linux.

                                              Hi!

                                              I'm Heinrich aka hank, and have been around for some weeks now.

                                              I'm an "interested layman", without any computer science training whatsoever (well, except for a Highschool Class way back in 1982 ;-)).
                                              Using Ubuntu since about 2005 (warty!), I switched over to Ubuntu completely since Windows Vista was introduced.
                                              I have been active in the german ubuntuusers.de forum since 2005, and act as wiki moderator since 2009.
                                              Last year I got my hands on a used Fairphone2, (already had one running the open source fairphone version) and tried Ubuntu Touch. Since then I'm hooked to it, bought a new bq HD m10 just for UT, and did an almost complete overhaul of the https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Ubuntu_Touch section over at ubuntuusers.de over the last weeks - (might be interesting for people who speak, or at least read, German).

                                              Thanks for the help I was able to get from you so far! Hope I can give something back.
