@sam-strelitz UT is none of this but you're in for a huge disappointment if you're looking for "just linux on a phone". UT works by flashing an .img on your phone. It's quite static by nature and updates are made by re-flashing the whole system partition. This and the fact that root is read-only by design means you won't be able to run apt for instance, or if you do, by making root writeable, everything you installed will be wiped by the next update. Apps are installed from a store which uses an in-house format: .click. Most apps are sandboxed for security reasons and if you intend to write a custom script, expect hassles to access the hardware, which is heavily confined I believe. Now the way UT interacts with hardware is not by being an android app, or a VM, but it does use a layer of android to be able to use proprietary drivers (which, contrary to PC, is a norm on phones) and on top of that, there's also a level of "emulation" called Halium, and most phones run all this before they even start UT, except for "native" devices like volla or pinephone, and the Pixel is not one of them. There are numerous charts on this forum which describe the compatibility layers system better than I did. UT is focused on being a user-friendly experience and it achieves it. If what you want is tinkering, you might want to look elsewhere.

@xray2000 Ok so you already have some devs in mind. And what about the 6000 € goal ? How did you come up with that ?
