Hey so what's the current state of linux phone's / ubuntu touch? Or even android roms like graphene or e/os?

With this whole thing with google's side loading annoys me and I'm curious how the alternatives stack up.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your switching from iPhone to Ubuntu Touch. For any questions like not working contacts from nextcloud or similar, i believe you can just ask on mastodon with correct #ubports hash or asking on https://forums.ubports.com/ 🤞

Tonight in "nerdy shit"™ I'm switching my "phone which lives behind the cupboard which exists to keep my #WhatsApp account active" from a #Fairphone3 (with no camera and a smashed screen) to a #Nexus5 (with a smashed screen, released 2015?), sooooo that I can try installing #UbuntuTouch on the #Fairphone3! 🤓

#vulkan coming to a #halium phone near you! Looks like the #FuriLabs and #UbuntuTouch folks have been hard at work getting vulkan to a usable state.

This opens up all the #wayland vulkan applications that seem to have problems related to GLES.

Should be enabled soon:tm: to the general audience, do note it only works with wayland and not x11.

Here's a short video of the #FLX1 running vkcube and godot benchmarks all running in vulkan!
