I didn't know about Ubuntu Touch. Thanks.
It's so frustrating how hard it is to get hardware working. I'm sad it's not further along, but actually super impressed by the people who keep working on it.
When I was like 10 I wondered why hardware didn’t just have some flash chip with its driver source code written in a standardized way. The idea sounds corny in retrospect, but honestly why isn’t it a thing?
Unfortunately, If they did have onboard drivers it would only ever be for an old version of Windows. (Same as the disks and then later discs that used to come with hardware)
And in the case of phone hardware and features such as VoLTE it's intentional so you're locked into their OS.
Yeah, I know my idea is a pipe dream—it would never happen due to greed.
