          @nicolasrull Hello & welcome! 🙂 🤝

            Hello there,

            i m an entusiast and installed UB on my old Xiaomi 4x. There are some minor bugs, but thats not that bad, i m aware its a community device. Most of a time it works fine. BUT: whats really striking about a UB device is the emotional dimension! When i first got out with it and took it for a walk with my earbuds and my beloved podcasts turned on, i realized what a GOOD FEELING it is, not to be tracked and spied on. I instantly felt like I was 14 years again, wandering outside with my old walkman and headphones on. Thank you for that! I love it!

            Now i m up to get a better device meeting my nerd needs like pixel 3a. Keep up that good work! Maybe i ll contribute within my possibilities.

            Greetz

                  Greetings UBports community! My name is Camden and I'm an avid mobile Linux fan. I have helped port a device and am currently porting a device to Sailfish.

                  I have a collection of phones which include a Samsung Galaxy: SII, S5(x2), Note 9, and A52s. Along with a OnePlus 6, Google Pixel XL, Nexus 5x and PinePhone.

                  I love Ubuntu Touch and have had an interest for many years, I got my first proper Ubuntu Touch-compatible phone in 2021. This was the PinePhone UBports edition, and later the OnePlus 6 which I have tried to daily drive a couple of times.

                        I am a software developer, using mosty Javascript and Java in my current job, but have done some Scala, D, a little C++/Qt 4 and a bit of QML. I'm not sure if I will have enough time to help in OS' or core apps' development, but I will definitely throw in some testing, my feedback and ideas to discuss. And maybe someday I'll manage to start helping with the code as well.

                                Just been given a Nexus 5 with UT preinstalled. I love it so far. Looks very simple to write apps for. I have a pwa i'd like to port to UT, so I'll be setting to work on that. I have Mint on my laptop. Also have access to a Oneplus to test out focal packages.

                                            I've used UT for the first time on 2016 with the E4.5.
                                            Used the s10 port in 2022 and now the pixel 3a. Not continuos usage
