Why continue developing inherited Lomiri on Mir (which has pivoted to IoT/embedded) instead of adopting KDE Plasma Mobile or Phosh and contributing mobile-specific customizations upstream to benefit the entire Linux mobile ecosystem?
KDE has maintained Plasma desktop for 25+ years, created the Qt/Kirigami framework that scales perfectly between mobile and desktop, and continues massive improvements through 2024-2025 (they're basically saints of the FOSS community at this point). Wouldn't contributing to their mobile effort multiply your impact rather than maintaining a legacy Unity8 fork alone? -
@grenudi
This kind of questions could be asked in the Q and A topic, and then you'd get answered by the developers themselves...And please use the right sections to post threads.
Also you don't need to make one topic per question. -

@Keneda I posted the list of my questions there now. But I open separate posts for questions to open a discussion, hopefully, if there will be anyone interested to discuss. I will post them in general now.
Thank you!

@grenudi Because Ubuntu Touch is Lomiri. Without Lomiri, Ubuntu Touch loses its identity and loses its purpose. When the community/foundation picked up the project, it picked up the whole Ubuntu Touch project and continued its goal.
In an ideal world, we all want the same things but in reality we want different things and that's the reason we have so many DEs and distros. One of the main goal of Ubuntu Touch and Lomiri is convergence. I know other distros also kind of touches that concept too but it's pretty obvious that UT's direction is very much different. Most of us UT users obviously like Lomiri and that's why we continue to support it and contribute to it.
