Ubuntu touch on the fairphone 4
Ubuntu touch on the fairphone 4
It looks like ubuntu touch on the fairphone 4 is nearly perfect, and the features that don't work I won't miss. I'm very tempted to buy a second hand fairphone 4, but I can't really find much on the experience of ubuntu touch. How do you install apps? Are there repo's that I can look at? And is it just branded ubuntu touch, or will any ubuntu apps made for arm work on ubuntu touch? If anybody has some links or personal experiences they could share, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance!
You're viewing a single thread.
https://open-store.io/ is the Ubuntu Touch specific app store. If the model supports Waydroid, you can also install Android apps with some caveats.
You basically can't install normal Linux apps on Ubuntu Touch.
I didn't use Ubuntu Touch for awhile now, but did they remove lxd containers? I was able to run desktop apps on my phone.
Don't get me wrong it was a terrible experience using it. But it worked.
Thank you
You should be able to run other desktop apps too, through libertine. Though, to be fair, my only time testing it was on a pinetab 1 and it was a feature not yet fully working at that time. I cannot confirm how well it works now

That was why I added "basically". Yes, theoretically that option exists, but practically you can't realistically run anything in a usable way with that.
