From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i started to use ubuntu touch on a pixel5 in 2020. did this for almost two years until the phone broke down. it also was my first smartphone. so it opened up new possibilities.
i switched to a google free android after this. honestly i miss ubuntu touch from time to time especialy for its keyboard. i never used banking apps or the like, but even now there is one app i need some workarounds. so yeah. i guess the linux phone is viable for me. i just didn't want to go for second hand hardware this time. and at the time the phone i went for wasn't yet supported by ut.
haven't had a look into the linux phone for a while. but will definetly, the next time i need to switch phones
Ubuntu Touch is such a nice user experience. If it had an Android-tier app ecosystem it'd be a very nice daily driver.
back then it didn't have signal-client i could get to work. that is of course a hard no if you work in the us military ...
