It looks like ubuntu touch on the fairphone 4 is nearly perfect, and the features that don’t work I won’t miss. I’m very tempted to buy a second hand fairphone 4, but I can’t really find much on the experience of ubuntu touch. How do you install apps? Are there repo’s that I can look at? And is it just branded ubuntu touch, or will any ubuntu apps made for arm work on ubuntu touch? If anybody has some links or personal experiences they could share, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I’m stuck on a hand-me-down iphone se 2020. I’m really sick of ios and apple in general, so I want to find a cheap pixel 3a or a fp4 and try out mobile linux. That would be more of an experiment though, so I’m going to look at the price of the pixel 8(a/pro) a few weeks after the release of the pixel 9.
