it's not quite entirely the OS fault's.

I would say it's absolutely not the OS fault.

2 years ago I was still able to validate payment with my Ubuntu Touch phone just using a SMS code received on it.

Now I must use their app, "for security reasons", and it doesn't work outside iOdroid, on the other side sometimes I have to validate integrity of this app... Using a SMS code !!!

The fact that i need to use certain apps for bankind, digital ID or even enterprise stuff is a fact but not the point. I am well aware that I need to use Waydroid till the world is more mature and restarts its effort for supporting Linux .

My main problem is to replace the daily android apps where many even already exists in the Linux ecosystem.
To name a few;

• 1Password
• KeepassXC
• Signal
• HomeAssistant
• pure firefox

Even if I can install them, most are designed for Desktop usage and not mobile device.

None, of these are Ubuntu Touch "issues/faults" yet they remain as a factor for my user experience and a bigger factor for my to swap my daily.

it seems that the provider of this software already provides a snap for x86, so maybe you could try to ask them if they could build it for ARM64 ? or even try to search the snap store in the unlikely case where they had already done the job but not yet updated their web site ?

@arubislander the HA app you linked is just a webview, not sure why people bother uploading these

As another memeber mentioned, its just the website which lacks certain client features like device or bluetooth tracking .

But as stated, is this adapter for mobile view or desktop?

While its not a snap they do have an ARM64 already, however its desktop. I hav not tested yet but I believe its not optimized for UT direkt install. Thinking Libretine..

I have to do some tinkering

Thinking closer, this is offtopic. I should probably make another thread for this

uFirefox is mobile Firefox on UT. It runs confined on Noble and is a joy to use. Just remember to swipe it away, as it is exempt from the app lifetime management and will keep running in the background. Great for YouTube Music or Spotify. Not so great for your battery life.

@arubislander it can't be both confined and exempt (if it actually is we have a serious problem)

maybe the thread should be locked for new replies
