Ubuntu touch would be pretty sweet on a folding phone.

The supported phones list is odd though. Pixel 3 only? We are on the pixel 10 now...

    The porting of devices is done by volunteers owning the devices and not being afraid to brick them, which leads to a pretty weird list of supported devices.

    Is there much that can be done in terms of brick mitigation? Entirely the kind of project I'd like to tinker with, but the brick factor is a big disincentive to learning by doing.

    I'm no porting expert, but to me there seems like they pick mostly well documented phones that already has a history of being worked on by other tinkerers like Lineage, Mobian, PMOS. They also tend to be cheap ish to buy used or they come from a company with a good history with open bootloaders, like the Fairphones.

    Right‽ If this was available and stable on my fold 9 that would be so cool
