Firstly, we are pleased to let you know that Lomiri is available with a quick- and-easy install, for testing on your Linux tablet or desktop without a VM. We are still talking very much about a testing, bug reporting, and contributing stage here, and not daily stable usage. To find out how, and join the conversation, check our Forum thread https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10250/install-uninstall-lomiri-session-on-your-linux-desktop-tablet for all the details. Give it a try and let us know how it goes in the thread conversation. Who is Ubuntu Touch aimed at, who is all this time, effort, skill and pride the target for. The simple answer is you, and, of course, our community and users. Anyone who tries or uses UT is a very welcome part of, and member of, our community. Developers, enthusiasts and everyone looking for an alternative to the big two OS out there, you are all very welcome.
Tout d’abord, nous avons le plaisir de vous dire que Lomiri est disponible avec une installation fastoche, pour que vous le testiez sur votre tablette ou ordinateur de bureau sous Linux, sans une VM. Nous sommes ici en fait toujours en train, de parler des tests, de rapports de bogues et de votre contribution, pas d’un usage quotidien stable.

Qui est la cible d’Ubuntu Touch, pour qui investissons-nous tant de temps, d’efforts, de compétences et de fierté ? La réponse simple est vous et, bien entendu, notre communauté et les utilisateurs. Quiconque essaie ou utilise UT fait partie et membre de notre communauté. Les développeurs, les passionnés et tout le monde qui cherche une alternative aux deux grands OS qui existent, vous êtes tous et toutes très bienvenus.
And that is the point. We want to be an alternative to them that everyone can use, not just developers. That means we must make sure anyone can just pick up a UT device, use it, and love it – not just developers and linux experts, and that is what we are going to do.
Many people already use UT as their main daily driver and we want many more to do so. That means it all has to work without hassle or the need to use the terminal or any other (as it is seen by many) wizardry and dark arts. You just pick it, put your sim in, and off you go – make and get calls, messages, take photos, etc, always knowing you are not being tracked or having your data scraped, used, and profited from. Something that more and more people are becoming aware of.
Does this mean UT is not for those of a more traditional linux outlook, no of course not. This is FOSS after all, it's your device you can do and use it how you will and you are more than welcome to do so. However, so that as many people as possible can feel confident in using Ubuntu Touch, it will remain read and write. Want or need to do more – then we are sure you will know how to “get in” and do whatever you please, and enjoy doing it.
We are proud that UT, as an OS, is aimed at the everyday user and we will continue to work hard in making that the reality.
While we are on this theme, another thing that is becoming popular among some mobile users is the feeling that being constantly connected to social media in all its forms, and always being on it and available, is not great for anyone. Want to change that, or know someone who does, then show them Ubuntu Touch. The standard install gives you all you may need for a quieter existence; calls, sms, camera, clock, and web browser, and you're all set. Anything else you can add if you wish, no reminders that this and the other are not set up, or that you have not added any social media accounts. The settings are there and the apps available from the OpenStore or increasingly snaps, it is purely up to you.
There is a video on the PinePhone Pro you may find of interest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9UaT3Q68Ag More on all things UT and Pine coming up in the next few weeks, this should include news on recovery images and system image updates.
