Possible OS Switch
Hi
I am somewhat interested in changing my phone and maybe computer OS to Ubuntu Touch
For now, I'll talk about the phoneI have a Motorola One 5G Ace. I think the phone is not one of the phones that Ubuntu Touch has worked on.
In May when I got this phone, I changed the OS from Google Android to Lineage OS because Google and its services are one of the worst in terms of privacy and security too
So after 4.5 months, I found out that Lineage OS still have 'low-level' system settings that leaks information to GoogleThese are: SUPL for A-GPS, NTP Server, Captive Portal Server and System Webview. Those are the ones I have a hard time modifying
Various resources I read recommended rooting the phone at every change but Lineage OS blocked Magisk or other ways to root the phone. Right now, I could either change some of these 'low-level' system settings without rooting the phone, or change to /e/ which will still be entertained
So long and short, I am hell bent on unGoogling and boycotting a lot of Big Tech. I'm already downing tools with Windows OS. Hence anyone here who is knowledgable that can walk me through potentially changing the OS to Ubuntu Touch?
Additionally, I want to clarify what Ubuntu Touch does over:
- apps or an app repository? (e.g. F-Droid)
- Backups (LineageOS uses seedphrases or Nextcloud)
Any help or responses would be greatly appreciated!
