       @ernmander @ubports what about app support? General usability? I wonder if you could emulate android apps.

       @leop @ernmander @ubports I've been running ubuntu touch since 2017. Usability is ofc subjective, but the basics, and more, work just fine for me, and have since the beginning. Never had problems with phone, sms or internet connection for example. If apps are a concern, you obviously can't expect companies to build for a platform with near neglectable market share, but there's phones with waydroid support, which allows you to run android apps. I don't use waydroid myself, though, so I can't really say how well it does or doesn't work. For native apps, you can check the open store https://open-store.io/I also think it's important to note that you shouldn't expect to have "ubuntu, but on a phone". The underlying image may be ubuntu, but it's really build to be a proper phone OS.
