What you think about this operating software? Pretty niche still, but if its alright maybe we could take the next step and use a almost open source os?

    Personally I would love to see it gaining ground as I would love Europe to have its own phone OS.

        I’m surprised to learn Ubuntu Touch is german, especialy since the main version of Ubuntu and their parent company (Canonical) is South-African.

          Canonical gave up on Ubuntu Touch, but being open source some Norwegian guy decided to continue developing it anyway. Others joined in, leading to the ubports foundation. Canonical let them continue to use the name Ubuntu Touch and there is some continued cooperation, but Ubuntu Touch is completely independent from Canonical these days.
