@moem thanks very much for the reply. Somewhat saddened that VoLTE is still unsupported, which might make it a deal-breaker for now. Thanks for the callout on phone model as well; I’m more versed in iOS and only have the Pixel as a test device for work, so wasn’t aware of the model difference.

Might not be something I can jump onto right now, but definitely something I’ll be keeping an eye on.

Hi everyone!

Recently I’ve been feeling pretty burned out from how digitally tethered I feel on traditional smartphones, and have been looking for a replacement that will let me keep the tools I use (e.g. email, maps/directions, light web browsing, etc.) without the hyper-connectedness and personal data harvesting of iOS and Android. I’ve seen things like Light Phone, boringphone, dumb phones, even slimmed-down Android-based “hybrids” that keep some core apps, but I’ve just recently learned about Ubuntu Touch and am wondering how well it might work for me. It seems I already have a supported device (Pixel 3), and it’s been a dream of mine for a decade or more to see a phone that could effectively double as a light personal computing machine. Would love to get a Yolla but I’m in the States.

For people that use this as a daily driver, do you think Ubuntu Touch might help me sever the digital anti-privacy tether? Has anyone made this switch looking for the same or similar thing as me?
