    • 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 phone

      I 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 Google

      These 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:

      1. apps or an app repository? (e.g. F-Droid)
      2. Backups (LineageOS uses seedphrases or Nextcloud)

      Any help or responses would be greatly appreciated!
