        Hi @Caedem, welcome aboard. ๐Ÿ™‚

        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 there,

                i m an entusiast and installed UB on my old Xiaomi 4x. There are some minor bugs, but thats not that bad, i m aware its a community device. Most of a time it works fine. BUT: whats really striking about a UB device is the emotional dimension! When i first got out with it and took it for a walk with my earbuds and my beloved podcasts turned on, i realized what a GOOD FEELING it is, not to be tracked and spied on. I instantly felt like I was 14 years again, wandering outside with my old walkman and headphones on. Thank you for that! I love it!

                Now i m up to get a better device meeting my nerd needs like pixel 3a. Keep up that good work! Maybe i ll contribute within my possibilities.

                Greetz

                      Greetings UBports community! My name is Camden and I'm an avid mobile Linux fan. I have helped port a device and am currently porting a device to Sailfish.

                      I have a collection of phones which include a Samsung Galaxy: SII, S5(x2), Note 9, and A52s. Along with a OnePlus 6, Google Pixel XL, Nexus 5x and PinePhone.

                      I love Ubuntu Touch and have had an interest for many years, I got my first proper Ubuntu Touch-compatible phone in 2021. This was the PinePhone UBports edition, and later the OnePlus 6 which I have tried to daily drive a couple of times.

                            I am a software developer, using mosty Javascript and Java in my current job, but have done some Scala, D, a little C++/Qt 4 and a bit of QML. I'm not sure if I will have enough time to help in OS' or core apps' development, but I will definitely throw in some testing, my feedback and ideas to discuss. And maybe someday I'll manage to start helping with the code as well.

                                    Just been given a Nexus 5 with UT preinstalled. I love it so far. Looks very simple to write apps for. I have a pwa i'd like to port to UT, so I'll be setting to work on that. I have Mint on my laptop. Also have access to a Oneplus to test out focal packages.
