        Greetings from Toronto, ON, Canada!

        My name is Kai, and I am a German living and working in Toronto as software developer.

        I came across Ubuntu Touch searching for alternative mobile operating systems. I got interested, but I do not own a supported device, so I am currently working on a new port.

        Kai

            If @k.nacke got banned because of his username: I think it was not supposed to be a stupid word play. When you search the web, it seems that there is actually a German living in Canada named "Kai Nacke" and he is also active on GitHub.

              That user is not banned.

              Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                @Moem My user was actually banned. But looks like an admin un-banned it. And yeah, it's really my name.

                    Greetings from The Netherlands,
                    My name is Jan and I like the idea to have fun with a Linux based mobile OS. Certainly with the current developments in the (tech) world. A couple of months ago I started actively to de-google. When I reduced the amount of apps the switch to another android 'taste' would be easier. I bought a Nothing CMF 1 and installed e/os. I host my own nextcloud instance, and this combination works like a charm. I already work with linux boxes for a long time. When I read more about UbuntuTouch and PostmarketOS, I liked the idea to buy an FairPhone4, and do the 'next step' šŸ™‚
                    Cheers, Jan

                          Hello everyone,

                          My name is Gabriel. After reading about the new Android developments, I decided that only Linux on mobile devices will have a future. I have been using Linux for about six years and am also a member of a Linux User Group. At the moment, I am happily using a Lenovo Tab M10 X306F with Ubuntu Touch.

                          Kind regards from Germany

                          Gabriel

                                Hey everyone,

                                I'm a senior software engineer who's recently gone down the privacy and self-hosting rabbit hole šŸ˜…

                                That naturally led me to exploring mobile OS alternatives, and Ubuntu Touch's focus on privacy and convergence really resonates with me. I'm excited to contribute where I can be most useful - just need to get oriented on where the team needs help most.

                                Looking forward to being part of the community!

                                          Hello forum,
                                          my name is Charly. I come from Germany and have been using Linux on my PC for 30 years and on my cell phone for about 3 years.

                                          Thank you everyone for the great work. I love my UT Volla X23 and use it as a daily driver.

                                          I am pleased that the waiting time is for 24.04 is over and I hope that there are now resources for bug fixes and further developments.

                                          If I had only one wish, I would want Bluetooth support for Waydroid.

                                          Thank you & best regards
                                          Charly

                                          Greetings
                                          Charly

                                          UT 24.04 on Volla X23
