        I currently run LineageOS on a 1st gen Pixel Fold & it runs shockingly well... that got me thinking about UT on it. I get the feeling UT would leverage the internal screen extremally well & open up the possibility to run desktop apps on the go without as much fuss that comes with a small phone screen.

        So, has anyone looked into running UT on any foldables, is anyone even interested in this use case for UT?

        2x Pixel 3a running UT (daily driver for 2 years, but stopped when 20.04 broke needed apps).
        2x Nexus 5 running UT (daily driver for unkown amount of time)
        2x PinePhone (UT & Manjaro edition)
        PinePhone Pro
        Volla Phone
        Nexus 7 ran UT

          @TeckMonster There is a port for the Samsung Fold 3 (https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android11/samsung-galaxy-z-fold3), you may want to ask its status on Telegram, and if the porter got the screen switching working.

          May the source be with you

            There are attempts and even got it running but nothing's really good enough for actual use. This is tricky because they are very expensive and niche so there's a small chance it'll be a thing soon. Well unless someone very willing and skilled to do it 😄

            I would love UT on a foldable. There's not much good tablet options so a foldable would be awesome and a great showcase of convergence but I wouldn't hold my breath 😅
