Same question re. #UBports and #UbuntuTouch. Can anyone suggest which they prefer, and why? And which devices they prefer?

@wessexweather I used to daily drive UbuntuTouch on Vollaphone and developes several apps for it including Waydroid helper. I no longer daily drive it but have it installed every now and then.
My expierience with both is good. UbuntuTouch generally works for the core features of a phone. SMS, calling, E-Mail and Browser are more or less reliable. There is of course also waydroid but it wont work for banking. The GUI and expierience of UT feels outdated.
Sailfish is pretty much the same.
@wessexweather Really my approach to Linux phones based on Halium, which both are is that you should expect a somewhat "dumb" phone. It can do the bare minimum, but not much more and you will run into limitations and likely bugs.
I love the UT community and prefer lomiri (the desktop environment) more than sailfish. In terms of usability they are similar imo.
Also: dont expect an expierience similar to desktop, unless u go with postmarketos
