Hi there, ubuntu touch is just ubuntu. It has been taken over by the community after ubuntu abandoned it iirc.

Anyway, its just linux so you can install apps and stuff that run on linux. Beware, not all apps are mobile friendly (yet).

I personally am involved in the postmarketOS microcosm (pretty much the same idea but based on alpine). Works pretty great but I cant tell you how it compares to ubuntu touch since I have no personal experience with ubuntu touch but from what I hear, its kinda cool.

If you are somewhat adept with linux you could download an emulator and check the features for yourself before you buy a phone. That way you could get an idea of the look and feel. But beware, setting up an emulator will be a lot more work than flashing a phone is.

Let me know if you need more info.

Good luck.

Sorry, but this is not true. Ubuntu Touch is based on Ubuntu, but it differs significantly from desktop Ubuntu.

I’m noticing some conflicting information, do you have any sources?

Yes, I have used Ubuntu Touch as a daily driver for two years and even developed some apps for it.

I got a Fairphone 5 and will probably try to use it with Mobian once that becomes available for it.

For now the stock android that was preinstalled. I only recently bought it
