        I'm very interested in installing Ubuntu Touch on a device I no longer use as my primary one, but this device can't run TWRP; so I can't really install UT on it.

        However, the default recovery on the device (a Samsung A7) has an option called "Boot from SD card", so I was wondering, can I install UT on a SD card and boot it using the recovery? And if I can, how can I do that?

        I appreciate any answers in advance.

          @jimenezh If the device is not on the installer and no one is porting UT to it, then unless you have the time and skills to port it is a no go.
          Running UT from an SD card I have only seen once and I believe the device was one of the Fairphones or Pinephone. It was difficult to do.

          Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
          I have too many devices...
