Ubuntu Touch Description

Ubuntu Touch is created and maintained by the UBports Community. A group of passionate people and volunteers from all over the globe. Ubuntu Touch is a mobile experience that's truly unique. It offers an alternative to the most popular operating systems. We believe everyone should be able to freely use, study, share, and improve any software created by the foundation. Everything is made available under open source licenses that are endorsed by the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative. Ubuntu Touch is a mobile-friendly version of Ubuntu's operating system for mobile devices. It is not a 'flavor' of Ubuntu. Instead, it is an extract from parts of Ubuntu. It can be used in touch-screen environments, but it can also function as a desktop computer in "desktop mode". This converging environment from one device to another is what gives rise to the term "Convergence".

Mobian Reviews
Mobian
Mobian aims at integrating the standard Debian distribution and the Phone Shell (phosh), project in a package that can be used on certain mobile phones such as the Pinephone. The idea is to reduce the Mobian-specific pieces by "upstreaming customization to the original projects." Mobian is shipped with Phosh, the Phone Shell from Purism. It is based upon well-known modern Gnome technologies like GTK, GSettings, and DBus. It runs on a wlroots-based wayland compositor named phoc. Mobian aims at integrating the standard Debian distribution and Phone-specific projects or modifications in a distribution that can be used on certain mobile phones and tablets such as the Pinephone and Pinetab. The idea is to reduce the number of Mobian-specific pieces by "upstreaming" modifications to the original projects. We have to strike a delicate balance between custom patches and packages that allow Mobian to run on supported devices.

Chromium OS Reviews
Chromium OS
Chromium OS is an open source project that aims at creating an operating system that offers a faster, simpler, and more secure computing experience to people who spend most their time online. You can read the design docs and the source code here. Chromium is a tabbed window manager, shell for the web, that we view as a browser application. We don't put things in our UI the same way that Apple and Microsoft do not put things in their standard window frames. The tab is our equivalent to a desktop application's title bars; the frame containing tabs is a convenient way to manage groups of applications. There may be other tab types in the future that don't host the browser toolbar.

    Ubuntu Touch is the mobile OS for me

    Date: May 30 2022

    Summary: I tried this OS out 'for just two weeks' and never stopped (it's been three years). It suits my usage so well.

    Positive: I like the friendly, intuitive user interface. The community is welcoming and helpful. App support is reasonably good and improving all the time.

    Negative: Not all popular apps have an equivalent for Ubuntu Touch.
