Ubuntu Touch
Ubuntu Touch (även känd som Ubuntu Phone) är en mobilversion av operativsystemet Ubuntu som utvecklas av UBports-communityt. Den är skriven i Qt och är främst designad för mobila enheter med pekskärm som smartphones och surfplattor, men det ursprungliga målet med konvergens var avsett att föra Ubuntu Touch till bärbara datorer, stationära datorer, IOT-enheter, TV-apparater och smarta klockor för en fullständig enhetlig användarupplevelse.
Vid en första anblick kommer jag att ge dem 2 block eftersom de kurerar sin egen butik https://open-store.io/ och de tillåter handelsbaserade applikationer där.
W.A.I.T.? What am I trading? So I was looking into the default apps that come with Ubuntu Touch (https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/blob/master/CORE_APPS.md), and they seem to be trade-free, because they don’t want to collect data or put ads in the users face. The website, where you can find an how-to-install guide (https://ubuntu-touch.io/get-ut), does collect some data via “analytics.ubports.com”. But that seems to be not for profit purposes, but probably for usability. However, there are some youtube videos embedded in the website, so I want to mention that. Back to the software itself: I’d give 3/5 blocks, because there are trade-based apps, like Amazon (https://open-store.io/?sort=relevance&search=amazon), Google (https://open-store.io/?sort=relevance&search=google), Facebook (https://open-store.io/?sort=relevance&search=facebook) etc. in their app store. Is that a reason to not include Ubuntu Touch in the directory? Hm, I mean they are not advertising these, they just give users the choice to use them. But of course, that appstore is not clean in the trade-free sense.
