        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

          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.

              @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

                                            Hello everyone! I've always been a tech enthusiast, and by chance I wanted to see if there were any Linux alternatives for experimenting on an old Android phone.

                                            Thanks to everyone who keeps the project updated. After initial difficulties with the drivers and watching a video, I had no major problems with the installation.
