I plan to improve some details.
I wanted to share a first approach.
have a good day everyone.

@unisuperbox If you ask me what you do, I think you should start feeling proud. Look at what you have done until now. It's amazing! Who could in the world think that your team and you have forged with all these years. And it's very usable.

I understand that you may have been feel stressed for trying to keep up with a goal that only with discipline and dedication can be possible. Just look at your desk and count how many devices all of you have just changed to be a completely different thing.

I understand that many people have different skills, and they would like to know how to help. You have even provided with some tips, so don't worry about it, we'll figure it out.

And you people, not only deserve a hug from us, but also our support. I thank you UT guys for keeping the flame alive. Duopoly sucks, we agree. And you have started with a great step something that for many of us we couldn't even imagine.

Keep all the great work that you have done, and feel proud, and laugh a little bit during the Q&A, a joke or two aren't harmful. I know that you guys may find a balance between remaining professional and have fun.

Remember that dreams can only be possible if they are organized as goals.

Just remember what Confucius said:

我們最偉大的榮耀並不從未跌倒，但每次我們跌倒時都在崛起。

. . .

Of course that I was about to put the translation, here it goes:
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

@geekbone
You wan't a non-geek people?

People don't read. They just check if something works or they dump it.

Even if you complain too much, do you think I could read a lot of what you wrote?

Do a video, and I will consider watching it!

That's how non-geek people are.

1. If a government of a country ask you to breach the security of Ubuntu Touch, asking the team to create a backdoor in the platform, so their Intelligence Dept could have access. How would you respond to them? Would you runaway like Edward Snowden, or you have a legal team?

2. After the Pandemic, would you like to do a LAN party somewhere?

3. What opinion you have about the security issue of SystemD in root that has been discovered in June that has 7 years. I know that you were exited to implement it to UT in one of the next releases, but now, do you think is a good time to look at OpenRC, s6 or runit?

Because you deserve to have more options.

@UBportsNews Hi, I'm barz. I have a question for the Q.A. A little background before. I'm a 3D artist, not a programmer. I feel kind of bad that I can't help a lot in the development process. However a Linux platform like this is great not not only for me, even for the privacy of my clients. I'm for now just a freelancer, not a big company. I wish I could help more in my field.

I work doing archviz and some 3D related things under Linux. I use game engines a lot, sometimes I use tablets and phones to show my work as a game. A 3D scene. I was wondering if someday Ubuntu Touch would be close to use Vulkan or API that will help not only me, all the game marketing has been a game changer in Android. There is a github with Unity 3D with SDL support, or should I use Godot instead? It would be great that 3D could be supported in the future. For now I wish you luck.

@lt-dillinger I donwgraded my Pixel 3a from 11 to 9. When I have purchased it, seller upgraded it without my concern. And I have a cheaper phone with android 11, I just don't feel confortable not having keys or buttons to move forward or check all the apps. Even I feel that the os almost run out of space.

There should be a guide, youtube tutorials are most of the times there for help. I believe someone has aleady fixed the problem you have. And I was about to purchase the exact same phone, just waiting an update on Drodian, Plasma Mobile or UT, checking which one would be the best option.

@hobanwashburn gives 1 billion unicorn dollars Here, you're more than welcome to start.

@keneda About that (And I already tried to ask in the Telegram chat with no real solution) They are more focused on waydroid desktop, but I wanted to ask if just in case there is an update, how to update?

I was wondering if I have to uninstall the whole thing re-download the script to reinstall again. I don't know if there are actually updates

Question:
Had you ever tried to offer to key people in the software world, a working phone with Ubuntu Touch (or showed a phone in a meeting/conference/party/second breakfasts), so they may notice this project?

Let's say like Spotify CEO, the Netflix gang, so we the people download chapters in the tablets with UT. A Bank or Important company to let us create or have native apps?

In less words, what do you think we are missing in order to have permission from those big companies to build or they can build us apps for our beloved platform?

P.S. Does Marius will eat the sock he promised or he has a working Desktop Version of Ubuntu Touch(when is the due date)?

@amy I don't like discord, it seems all what Discord Nitro offers, Telegram has it for free. And I use to send audio chats a lot. Discord can't. Not to mention that you can send 2 gb per message in telegram and I struggle a lot in discord. I feel like discord is more like a trend, is not very useful and lacks for a lot of things. One of those, native support.

I wish I could login to telegram with my username as in matrix, and you also have matrix that supports more features than discord. I have to use it because certain communities are there, not because I like it.

@thousandtopics I always try to do questions to help you guys to chill a little bit, but I feel that most of the times that some questions that you answer seems to make you sort of tense.

If you feel like one of the questions is going to disconfort you. Like the last one. Skip it, you don't have to stress that much.

Oh and Alfred was only talking about root beer.

Cheer up guys. You have no idea how much we admire you.

@ubportsnews
I saw no questions on time for this Q&A and I felt a little sad, even if it is kind of late . . Here they are!:

App news this umm season:
Terminal has a new version (yay )
There is a new UFirefox app that is being ported? by Tobiyo

Questions!
The Log4j how does affect to you? Not only to the Phone Operating System, but to the computers, websites, servers you use.

Pixel 3a/XL volume, what are the main issues? I still have to rise the volume on the calls haha (cries inside)

If one of us develop a game for Ubuntu Touch that requires a gamepad, it would be better a bluetooth pad or one with usb-c plug?

Pine note is around the corner, and I saw a wacom pen on it . . .Do you plan to support styluses? That would be awesome, but the decision is all yours.

Happy holydays, I hope you get all the love you deserve and gain weight with all those family special suppers.

@alan_g Your job is very appreciated
