i was referring mostly about doing dualboot, or replacing Android with UBports, not exactly emulation... - but i guess that all possible approaches are welcome

@Leppa yes, like that - and having as goal having all (or almost) Android-based hardware running UBports would be really amazing, and perhaps even more motivational for having more UBports users around (so they would not have to forcibly pick a specific hardware for testing it)

@hans1977se i can see perfectly your point, and that was the reason i started this thread as well

as i’m a Debian user as well, i see how relevant is having everything as libre as possible - and from the other side, i see how important is to have all manufactured hardware documented, like in a wiki page (all manufactured hardware i’m also meaning all hardware supported from Android), with each one indexed with their components used, the UBports compatibility issues, etc.

as well, would be great if we could have some guidance of tools, tutorials and documentations for helping on this process - would be really great seeing that the UBports supported hardware list can be as large as that supported from Android, i really think that is not impossible at all - this would be really, really great!

i guess i‘m still not that relevant here - i’m not yet an UBports or Ubuntu Touch user yet, neither Android or Tizen, but i’m quite curious about the potential UBports can have everywhere (smartphones, tablets, smart-tvs, game consoles, etc.)

i never tried it: years ago i heard that there are some methods for transforming whatever Android-based smartphone or tablet into a GNU/Linux (based on Debian, i guess?)

so i guess that, somehow, we could “install” UBports over it?

i’m asking this since i were seeing Ubuntu Touch (and then UBports) being supported from so few hardware, when i imagine that all Android-based hardware could run UBports instead without further difficulty

would be this a kind of stupid question, or does it indeed make sense?
