    • RE: Ubuntu Touch Q&A 190 call for questions.

      @gpatel-fr I understand the 'keep it small' philosophy, but basic connectivity like Bluetooth file sharing isn't an 'extra' in 2026-it's a standard expectation for any mobile device. If we want Ubuntu Touch to grow beyond a niche hobbyist system and compete as a 'mainstream' alternative, we can't expect regular users to hunt for experimental patches just to send a photo. A system can be lightweight and still be functional out-of-the-box.

      Thanks @Libremax and @GPATEL-FR for the links! It's great to see there's an experimental app for Bluetooth. However, my point is about making these features native and intuitive for the 'mainstream' user, so they don't have to search through forums or install experimental tools.

    • RE: Ubuntu Touch Q&A 190 call for questions.

      @UBportsNews "With the 24.04 base now stable (OTA 1.3), the community is looking forward to the 2.x series. My question is about the physical usability of the interface:

      1. Ergonomics on Large Devices: On tablets (like the Volla Tablet) and large phones (like the Pixel 3a XL), having the 'Back' button and menus in the top-left corner is very uncomfortable for daily use. Are there plans in the 2.x series to implement bottom-based navigation or thumb-friendly controls to avoid 'finger gymnastics'?

      2. Simplified File Sharing: Will the 2.x series finally integrate Bluetooth into the Content Hub? For a 'mainstream' user, not being able to share a photo via Bluetooth from the Gallery is a major dealbreaker.

      3. Beyond the Expert User: What is the roadmap to make basic tasks (sharing, file management, settings) intuitive enough so that a non-technical user never has to open the Terminal?

      We love the progress on the 'engine' (Kernel, Wayland), but when will we see the 'cabin' (UI/UX) redesigned for modern, large-screen standards?"
