Thanks for the pointer, that seems like a serious alternative to UT, which I latched onto after converting my laptop to Ubuntu.

Thanks again!

but as a self-confessed complete novice I dare to ask:

I have a Asus Zenfone Max (M2) ZB633KL cell phone and would love to try the freedom of using it with Ubuntu Touch. Is at all possible that the port which is available for Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M1) ZB601KL/ZB602K would work with my phone? (for comparison of specs for the two models please see: https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9437&idPhone2=9173).

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Best regards
