<![CDATA[Thinking About UT on Nexus 5 X]]>Anyone got hands on with the Nexus 5 X running ubuntu touch?
If so, does every thing run smooth? Does everything work?

It basically boots but then somehow keeps crashing the display environment (unity8) - I am afraid we will never get there.

Honestly, just based on the specs it's not much of an improvement over the Nexus 5. Personally, I'm looking at getting the OnePlus 3T- seems like decent specs, more recent, and there's active work being done on porting it to UT.

Here's the list of supported devices: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/

Apparently people can try to build their own Halium ports for any device, but that's way beyond my (and, I'm guessing, most people's) capabilities: https://docs.halium.org/en/latest/

Anyway, I've not heard of anyone having Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 5X.
