Marius earlier this week hinted that some people are less than supportive in the the wider Linux community about the work that he and others do in open source, at least that was my reading. I just wanted to say that I REALLY appreciate what you (the wider UB Ports family) have done for us that want a Linux phone. I really enjoy the Q & As (currently watching 94 late), mainly because I see a range of people across the world that really enjoy each other's company and working on a project that they are proud of. They are always fun to watch. I wish I could get more involved and help. I do little more than buy and use the phones and run the software, but nothing make me happier than using a Ubuntu phone.
So, please keep doing what you are doing, and I for one appreciate all that you do.

@advocatux Have to echo all of this. I have used my E4.5 for over 4 years now and the last year (I think) with UT. I have had little glitches here and there, but nothing to stop me doing my job. Everything I need on it works. End of.

@pault bug reports are over here I think: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone/-/issues

@3arn0wl Sort of related to all of these and as a supplement. I bought myself a second hand N5 as I needed it for personal stuff. My main phone is a BQ4.5 which I have used for over 4 years now with my job. The N5 I bought lasted a month before the screen went doollaly (technical term I believe). I really liked the phone, so it was sort of a test. I then bought a "boxed new one". I figure that as my BQ has been good for 4 years, so will the N5 be and the advantage, as mentioned above, is that it is easy to fix. The "old" one I thought I would work on as a back-up for my kids. I bought a new battery (£6) and a new LCD digitiser (£17). There are loads of videos on how to replace this. It was easy to replace it and of course install 16:04. I now have 2 very usable N5s. The unboxed one, as I can replace any broken bits, should see me good for a decade.

@UBportsNews ..and to you all. You all deserve a well earned break. Marius could even "play some games".

Dalton, sorry to be a pedant, but you said welcome to Q & A 94, February 13th 2020.

@fishfingers44 The beta version mentioned in the link here works well for me. I have it on my work phone (BQ 4.5) which I use daily, and my own phone (Nexus 5). On my work phone I have been using it for a couple of weeks without issue.

@turgore There are some Facebook (Sailbook) and Twitter apps in the App Store which work well for me (on my 4.5).

@advocatux That did the trick. Should have realised. Thanks for the help.
