Apologies for going off topic, but is there an active community around Ubuntu Touch and similar OSes for phones? I have an old phone that is “fully optimised” as per the UBPorts website, and want to ask a few questions before I take the plunge.
I think !linuxphones@lemmy.ml is what you're looking for!
And I had it on a Pixel 3a XL
Seemed to run just fine. GPS took a LONG time to get a lock. But it was just a spare phone to play with, I never daily drove it or messed with cellular.

That's great!
Is it packaged for Ubuntu Touch? Do you know if it will hit the Open Store at any point? And if it'll work with 16.04? :)

Also, what phone have you installed the OS on?
