Still only on dev channel, but hardware support looks great.

Neat, wish there was a way to dual boot on the FP5.

I also see Ubuntu doesn't support wireless charging. No worries me thinks because neither does the FP5 hardware...

Has wireless charging improved much?

In my experience of using it early on, my phone would charge unbearably slow and would get unreasonably hot doing so.

Seems like a complete waste of energy to me.

I don't know, I've never had wireless charging.
