Ubuntu touch on the fairphone 4 (lemm.ee)

submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

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!

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