      @moem that is true, those statements were just in the bottom of my soul. I had to take them out. I understand if they don't read any of those in the Q&A because those aren't even questions, these are even kind of late, so I don't expect anything haha, but the damage is done ( runs away in ninja mode)

        Surely to make them as feasible devices they should have core functions that work or be removed from the installer until these functions work.

        Not sure that some of those devices are even supported by installer, such as Zenphone 2 wich porter has only one post here from Dec 19...

          Hi, I'm new to this community and was surprised to see Ubuntu Touch continuing as a community project, which is great to see by the way so keep up the great work. 👍

          I recall though how when Canonical maintained the OS they had a "pages" feature i believe it was called. So they had a page for "People", "Videos" and perhaps for other things like media, music, social media, messages, etc. I may be wrong but I've noticed this is no longer the case on the current distribution. Is there a reason this "pages" feature was no longer maintained by the community in favour of the usual app grid system?

          I for one am sad to see this pages features go as it allowed a different way for the user to interact with their apps and their phone, very different from the other two popular touch based OS's, something which caught my attention back when Canonical first revealed Ubuntu Touch. A different way of interacting brings a different and unique experience and may help Ubuntu Touch to stand out from the likes of Android and iOS.

            Is there a way I can try out Ubuntu Touch on my laptop/computer via a virtual machine or some other way just to get a feel of it before installing it on a device?

              Those were the scopes and ubports team dropped it because of various reasons.

                @ubportsnews Hi, the move into focal base is one of the biggest step forward that the project is making. It’s a huge achievement! In your opinion, the addition of a device to the UBports Installer should met requirements like: proven to be stable; highest score of compatibility with UT; porter motivation. The move to 20.04 is an opportunity to introduce this type of change or others?

                Thank you!

                  I think this was called "scopes".

                    @psingh The scopes discussion went on for some time, see here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1743/scopes-on-the-16-04 for an overview.
                    If you use the Forum Search function you will find many more. Too sum up Scopes are gone.

                      Q&A120 is over but I want to make a comment.
                      So much amazing, interesting and important progress. a big thank you from the deep of my heart to all involved developers. I also saw the video with the great talk from Jeroen at MCH2022 ( https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=-7nu2tmr-lQ )to attract greater attention for Ubuntu Touch/Ubports and the goals. I have noticed the animation of developers with the workshop and the book to make the start easier for them to create apps. That's really impressive what is going on.
