              I ran across Ubuntu Touch somewhere in last April or so, pretty much a year ago, and as I did not own any smartphone before, I was happy to be able to use one which is special. Too special to use it without thinking, but I got used to it.

                                        Hello,
                                        my name is Philipp, I'm 40 years old and am from Germany.

                                        I use UbPorts phone as a daily driver for now more than 6 and a half years. I just noticed today through this forum, I can't believe it myself. 🙂 I experienced the good and bad stuff with it but I am satisfied.

                                        I try to convince people that UbPorts is cool. 😄

                                          Hej everyone,
                                          I'm vulpex running ubuntu touch focal dev since 2weeks on a fairphone 4.
                                          Not new to Linux, I've been playing around with different distributions on different laptops over the last 10+ years.
                                          (favorite because its convenient "mint")
                                          (and because they teached me a lot "crunchbang/bunsenlabs)

                                          I'm really excited about ut I ran with android for far too long and so far I'm happy about how functional most of my attempts are, to just use my fp4 with this operating system daily.
                                          I'd like to help, i know I'm not a coder or dev!
                                          But I'm a user, with that little bit extra understanding and a ton of ideas.
                                          And I changed os for a reason, so my ideas are more privacy and comfort/user related.
                                          Non of the social apps and other shenanigans (Netflix or spotify)....

                                          More interested in a good music player (love the ut one, great sound even without eq or other presets. Just missing some functions like being able to scroll alphabetically like in the phonebook,
                                          Song edit, amm).
                                          File sharing and clients like soulseek and qbittorrent...
                                          A stable webbrowser with all the little nibbles that one could ask for (Firefox or clones, iceweasel )
                                          And ui suggestions

                                          So thanks to everyone contributing, scribbling, coding, fiddling around and of course asking questions. I believe as a community we can make these phones smart again!

                                          Running UT on FairPhone4
                                          And loving it
