In fact there are 6 of them.

This is a picture I took of my BH. The label on the left describes what they are for.
Sorry for the blur macro is bad with the phone's camera.

@PINE64 Yeah \o/
I refreshed my browser all morning until could place an order

Hi, you just opened 4 threads in a row just with complains about the OS.

We are a community and everyone can contribute. But simply asking for stability, customization or anything that is convenient to you does not help.
I don't say your ideas are bad, just that if you take the time to read a bit more and learn about what is currently done you'll know that anything you ask here is far from being a priority.

Ubuntu Touch is very stable and it is one of the top priorities despite what you wrote here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/4905/stability
That's why OTA13 has been postponed.

As I said, we're a community and here to help each other.
Opening a bunch of thread just to complain about UT not being Android is considered like SPAM.

So please ask yourself how you can help. Or if you have a specific issue you can ask for help or open an issue in gitlab if you found a bug.
But you'll have to be specific.

Thanks.

Stating fact is not the problem here. We are all aware of what could be better.

You came here and wrote this and this. What people trying to actually DO something hear is:
I don't understand why such basic think is not done yet.

Even if you came just asking question this is not the way to do it.
In community like this one, what is appreciated is:

• Being thankful for the job already done
• People who want to contribute by trying/doing

Stating the obvious doesn't help anyone.
Criticism is not banished. But it should be a productive one.

When you see something that doesn't work the way you want, you can come here and ask what can I do.
Personally I use UT for 2 years now on my daily driver (a Nexus 5). There are some issue, battery leaks, ... but I'm glad to have an alternative to Android which drove me crazy years ago.

I couldn't control my domotic, so I created an app. Some people use it and I'm glad I'm able to give a little back to the community.

This message is not condescending, I expect it to be something that will help you (and others) understand the philosophy of open source communities. Do not simply come and ask ; come and ask what you can do to help.
Everyone is welcome to contribute with what they can offer.

Nice opportunity for me to say a big thanks to every contributor. I'm a happy user of UBPorts !

@dobey
No need to be rude back. We're still a friendly community.

You know you can scare people off sometimes

@poVoq said in What do you think? Use only Lomiri as poweruser?:

And Libertine is a workaround, claiming the opposite makes no sense at all

Now you're doing what you don't like from @dobey ...

Libertine is as much a workaround as VirtualBox is one.
That's a feature allowing the user to extend how to use its device.

The workaround is to use a desktop app with poor UX on a phone because no native app has been developed yet.
I know expressing an idea is difficult, but when the explanation doesn't work, try understanding why and change it so it become more precise.

@poVoq
Sorry, but I don't get your point.
You're mixing subjects in order to make your point, but comparing the open store with apt is not a valid comparison.

The store is used for third party software. Like snap store on Ubuntu or other stores.
On a traditional Linux distro you have several ways to get these third party : from stores, from the developers, ppa, ...
How you get third party software doesn't matter because it has the same issues.

The OS is updated using images instead of a trusted repository... Well I don't see any issue with that.
As said many times it's for the best because you don't want to crash your phone with a simple update failure so it's more robust.

I just want to add that I'm not part of the core team and mostly a standard user of Ubuntu Touch.
So my opinion is forged on my experience with the system and I appreciate how reliable it is and how it is continuously improving.
Choices are made, you can either accept them or search for something else. If there are things I wish different, I'd create an issue and hope it is heard. Or I'd make a PR... Or even shut myself up because it is what it is.

Last, I try to give back a little of what is offered by UBports by giving time as a moderator here. And as such I'd like to point out that in order to make a point there is no need to use harsh words. People from different horizons and ages come here, so please be careful. You never know who you can hurt with a poor choice of words.

Thanks.

@PhoenixLandPirat
Have you ever been in an overcrowded touristic spot ?
You'll see buses with a lot of old tourists and as unhealthy as it is elders love tablets to take pictures.

They like it because they can see what they are shooting at and that is something I learned from an elder person next to me at grand canyon.

But I tend to agree with you regarding the prospects for the PineTab, but if some of you are like me you might want to purchase one for your old people so you can troubleshoot them more easily than with an Android tablet, so ...

@kugiigi
Yes it was delivered to my door.
My GF was home to receive the parcel.

Just a reminder.
Please, keep negociations and details about the sale private.

You can chat with a user by visiting their profile and using the 3 dots menu start a chat with this user...

@MonCon
There is a locked post about the cosmo and another in wich you should be able to post.
But maybe old topics are off limit for a bit.
Keep the photo for a couple of days

@Etcher
I don't understand.
You want to burn (flash ?) APSync to Ubuntu Touch from a version made (built) for Raspberry Pi ?

Can you explain a little more what you want to achieve ?

@mito77
You can place a bet on the Pinephone.
There is also the Volla phone.
And lately the f(x) Pro 1-X for few days on indiegogo.

Other phones will not be new, but I agree with cliffcoggin, you can simply opt for a new battery.
It depends on what you desire.

@MonCon
Hi, I don't know for sure, but some features are locked to new users to prevent spam.
Maybe posting a picture is one of them.
The more you use the forum, the faster you'll be able to do it.

I'll give you a push and see if it helps.

@bambi
Have you check for the common mistake while using AppArmore ?
After any AppArmor modification you have to increase the version number in order to the changes to apply.

@TomRausner
Video chat is not possible at the moment.

And Zoom is not really open source, so we cannot tinker to try and make it work.

@MixMac

You'll have to use the "Topic Tools" menu.
First you'll have to "Ask as a question" and then use it again to "Mark solved"

@MixMac
It's perfectly normal for Ubuntu Touch.
Updates are made via the Open Store for apps and there are OTAs for the whole system.
No need for command lines.

@matty00
You can install it in Libertine.
