@@sureshkv007 It is mainline on the Pine devices like Pinephone. However, since UT has been developed for Android devices since the start and still is the focus, it's still not working on par on mainline devices. Also, we rely on someone to maintain the Pine ports. Luckily, there are willing people to maintain it 😄 Also, since Lomiri is now in Debian, you can now experience 90% of Ubuntu Touch on mainline devices.
looking forward when a linux phone becomes viable. android and ios have nice uis and work well but they can't be used as a computer. mobile phones are powerful enough that they could be a computer though. I hope the phone market will become more open
@@mwlulud2995 On desktop, it's always there though at the moment it doesn't work for toggling to Staged mode. On the phone, I have a hack to always show it 😄
@@mwlulud2995 I have a collection of hacks called Lomiri Plus. But if you just want the toggle, you can modify the file `Panel/Indicators/IndicatorMenuItemFactory.qml` Look for the line "Desktop mode switch". Just remove the condition.
@@AninoNiKugi Thanks bro! I have another question for you: Have you found a way to encrypt /home because ubuntu touch does not offer any encryption which is a shame! And I can no longer install apt packages, because the / (root) partition is by default very small... I understand the philosophy of UT to limit cases and I use a debian chroot for all my apt packages and for have a 100% functional terminal, but I would just need some standard packages in my phablet for certain situations (gocryptfs to encrypt files,...). How do I resize my root partition without breaking my system? Thanks a lot for your help!
@@mwlulud2995 No, that's out of my skillset 😅 Someone else experimented with it but nothing released so far. I guess encryption is such a delicate and complicated topic. You don't want to encrypt the user's data and unable to decrypt 😄 I don't know any way to resize the root in the newer devices. It was easier in older devices like the Nexus 5 because they use loopbacks instead of actual partitions.
@@Lod2023-x7p Maybe after the PPA for Ubuntu is available. At the moment, the development is happening in Debian Unstable while the Ubuntu version is stuck. A PPA is being prepared though so Lomiri can get updates.
Great video! As usual...
Looks very good. I hope ubuntu touch will become a mainline mobile operating system

Check Sailfish OS with good android support (bluetooth in android apps doesn't work apart from sound). Been daily driving for 1 and a half year
How do you have the switch to "Desktop mode" in the shortcut panel, it ’s by default?

@@AninoNiKugi what is the hack🤣 because I'm too lazy to go into the Tweaks UT application every time to switch the mode...

linux app like libreoffice work? witch version?
@@Lod2023-x7p Yes they do. They are available via snap or apt. Not sure how well they work in Lomiri though.
@@AninoNiKugi can you try some app in next video like kibreoffice gimp..

Qualcom xelite?
You mean the laptop has Qualcomm?
No, it's an old laptop
