Someone got Ubuntu Touch to run on their Redmi 9c! One of my dream projects is to one day install Linux on a smart phone so I can leave iPhone and Android.

This gives me hope.

@BigMikey there have been so many starts and stops with it. What we really need is a hardware vendor to stand up and make a phone with open source in mind. This is the best we have so far, and it doesn't suck, but has a ways to go. pine64.org/pinephonepro/

@jasod I have heard amazing things about Pine Phone. I had looked into it a few years ago and found I could not get one in my part of the world. But your reply reminded me of it's existence and apparently now they are available here, so I will be checking one out in future.
I am wholeheartedly with you on the hardware vendor support for FOSS. I feel like we need all the support we can get.

@BigMikey i had a phone with ubuntu, Spanish phone maker BQ was selling Ubuntu phones. It was 2018 or 2019... I quickly returned the back to the seller. The project was not very well developed and the phone was not very useful. Not sure if it is more developed now...

@MariusRime that was a very real issue at the time. I have heard it has improved but I have yet to try it for myself.
