@dees No worries I'm sorry for your experience.
I am using the latest version of ubports installer on Ubuntu and had no problems at all, anyways today is the release of OTA-9 maybe that will solve the issues you have.

@Lakotaubp Do you know on which channel OTA-9 will be avalable?
Thanks.

@trainailleur also note that the phone in question is branded Verizon so that would add lots of seconds to the boot time, in this specific case they could at least use a debranded phone ahhh...
The comparison has no sense.
And all of that promoted on the official website ahhh...

Hello guys did you ever think of changing the actual Ubuntu bootspalsh, I found this wallpaper on the web and I think it's a great logo with great contrast what do you think? Anyways it is just a thought so don't get it wrong I really like the actual Ubports image I'm using it as my daily driver on the edge channel, can't complain. Thanks.

@deescover I have it already installed and I am very impressed it is very snappy and stable no issues since, good luck.
