It would be a nice device. It appears that KDE wants to support it. I wonder how difficult it would be to run UB on such a device. Much easier than on any other?

@WLBI You will be able to use larger displays later on, if you want. BTW: David Hunt made a PiPhone 3 years ago ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eaiNsFhtI8 ) ... With some optimization, which the ZeroPhone does, this really is a complete handheld computer and phone. Maybe even almost entirely open source soon, because open GPU-drivers are coming along, and there are efforts for an open firmware.

Perfect:

• open hardware (ok, thats not the OS) from fair production (Hello, Fairphone)
• open source OS (meaning Gnu/Linux, incl. drivers and firmwares, if possible, and long term updates)
• as little dependencies on Android and vendors as possible
• convergence would be a nice-to-have

Because this does not exist atm, I do not own a smartphone. Still thinking, if I should get a Fairphone or a Neo 900 (unclear, what's happening there) or a Zerophone). Or if I should wait, if ever some crowdfunding project will offer, what I want.

@Mitu said in A vision of where to go after Ubuntu Touch's death:

Someone has already forked the Unity 8 here: https://unity8.org/

The 'someone' is Marius Gripsgård...

Move the Unity8 from Mir to Wayland

Main question to me: really to get rid of Mir (very difficult) OR make MIR Wayland-compatible (still not easy)? See also: http://voices.canonical.com/alan.griffiths/2017/04/07/the-end-of-a-dream/

@Thatoo Thanks for the link. Sound promising, as M. Gripsgard also mentions...:

@MariusQuabeck FYI: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fairphone-2-ubuntu-touch/23475

@NeoTheThird I have difficulties seeing this dock becoming a success, because there are way too few devices running UB, and not a single community port is feature complete. And it's difficult to say, if Android users will like this dock....

@apple.muncy With regards to the FP2-problem, Marius Quabeck just answered that "it's not working atm because the adb/fastboot part is "incomplete". The port is also not really well running so I think I will remove the fairphone soon."*

"Fairphone 2 (FP2) !!May not work!!"

I guess, someone tried it, and it did not work. Don't know, if it works now...
