Ubuntu touch as PC?
-
Am using Linux Mint since many years. Now the idea grows to purchase an advanced mobile phone, load Ubuntu touch and use it as a mobile PC. My usage is not too heavy!
Any recommendations to hard-/software combinations that might work? -
@Yumi It can be done but unfortunately there are still issues that would make it not a good experience. One of it is mouse scrolling. It doesn't work properly in all browser tabs in the default browser. It's also a bit too fast in native apps. It's just finicky in general which ruins the experience.
Also, support for traditional desktop apps is not complete yet. They mostly run in Xwayland which isn't hardware accelerated and has a few things not working properly.
But if you just want to try it and maybe one day use it when it's actually usable, Fairphone 4 and Fairphone 5 are the popular ones that support external diaplay via the type-c port.

@Yumi I understand what you mean.
But actualy, i found lomiri is not ready to be used as a PC (no desktop...). And UT don't already have some basics computers apps (libre office, vlc, firefox, scribus, gimp...). But in fact, phosh or kde mobile are not realy better.
i made a try with kde desktop (on postmarketOS) : more customizable, but pmOS is unstable on oneplus6.
So, the quest continue ! (why not mobian + kde desktop if possible?)
