Will there be an update for Google Pixel 2 to Ubuntu Touch OTA-2 Focal Release
-
It will be very interesting whether the firmware will be updated to a new version. Or is this its limit for this phone?
-
@Rostislav-Tymkiv Focal OTA-2 is already out, so no, there will never be an update to that version. But the further question of if there will ever be a Focal port for the Pixel 2, that depends on someone putting in the work to do so. Anyone is free to roll up their sleeves and jump in.
Requirements are:- a Pixel 2
- dedication
- free time
- willingness to learn
- love of solving issues and mastering hurdles.
maybe you could be the change you want to see?

Sorry but I can't handle it

It’s a shame, I like the phone, I’ve been using Linux for a long time, I thought something good would come out of it

@arubislander So there won't be anymore security updates for UT 16.04?
-
@arubislander Does UT even need security updates?

The development team have not completely ruled that out. But neither would it be a simple operation to pull off.

Yes, security fixes are rolled into each new release. And if an issue is serious enough a release might be pushed forward to get it out as soon as realistically possible.
But because of the (mostly) read-only filesystem, application confinement and application lifecycle, a security issue on desktop Ubuntu would probably pose a different, possibly lesser, risk on UT.

@arubislander Thank you for the replies, arubislander. I recently got a Pixel 2XL with UT 16.04.07 on it, so i'm interested in this topic.
