@UBportsNews I would be interested to know what Marius @mariogrip initiative's state is on improving usability.

@UBportsNews

I have 2 small question to contribute for this Q&A:

What version tag is expected to ship the newer Qt6 Morph browser, available in beta in the opens-tore, as the default browser for the first time? Will it be in 24.04-1.3? 24.04-2.x? 24.04-3.x?
How hard do you think it would be to have Lomiri display in the systray the icon of the application instead of the "X" icon for applications relying on XWayland? Should the change be made in Lomiri or in xWayland or even in the apps themselves?

Thank's a lot for everything!

@UBportsNews Plamen, of the Brax3 team, recently said that they were actively working with "the UT team" on the Brax3 port.
I thought UBports doesn't usually maintain device ports but maybe it's different when working with device manufacurers?

Is the port maintainer Brax3? UBports? A joint effort? Or is the hope that some individual will take on the port in the long run?

Thank you all!

Usually you should avoid talking about a bug but this is quite essential because many people ask this and it's missing: when will the problem of external notifications missing from TELEports be fixed?

It seems that progress has been made recently in the use of mir2.2 within UT. In addition, the migration to Qt6 is also progressing nicely.
Once these two components have been finalized and integrated, can you briefly describe the benefits for developers, users, and more broadly, the entire UT/Lomiri ecosystem?
