What I really want isn't a special Ubuntu Phone. It's a proper Linux running on Android devices, that's tailored for mobile usage. This looks great but I'd like to see it on my Android phone instead of Android.
- socceroos 14y agoDid you watch the video? You dock your phone and you've got the full desktop. This ubuntu phone is literally the FULL ubuntu desktop with a new UI on top. The only thing docking does is switch you to your desktop environment.
- tsahyt 14y agoYes I did watch it. I probably wasn't precise about what I meant. The emphasis was the "running on Android devices" part. I'd really like to see ROMs for existing devices rather than waiting for an entirely new Ubuntu Phone. Given that by today, Ubuntu is (with a few possible exceptions) always installed on a machine after buying it, releasing a ROM seems more natural than trying to convince manufacturers to adopt it. Don't get me wrong, I would definitely like to see a phone shipping with this and if it's any good on the hardware side I'd probably buy it. For now, I wish for a ROM though.
