@DetachablePianist Ubuntu touch isn’t really Linux. Base distro is severely outdated and no support for flatpaks. It kinda follows the Android philosphy, building an OS on top of a Linux kernel.
Indeed mainline Linux is not fully ready either on Mobian or postmarket. However, development is highly accelerated by the enshittification strategy adopted by #bigTech. i.e google’s sideloading ban. You can expect public betas by the end of the year and production stage in 2027.
@TheMightyCat Amazing work here. Can’t wait to get upstreamed and available in pmOS.
Don’t worry about the biometric collector (fingerprint reader). Some people don’t use it at all. The same goes for NFC which currently, its only use is to make payments which includes the use of a bank, therefore, against privacy rules.
