With all the crap about Google trying to lock down Android, I'm seriously considering that my next device will be one that I specifically choose to be able to run something like this just so that I can ditch Android entirely.

I know they since softened their stance and say they will let advanced users still install apps outside the App Store, but I don't trust them at all.

Is this your OC? That's pretty good.

I might get a cheap, used Asus and give it a go. I'd love to have a phone that's not restricted by Google or Apple.

List of supported devices (about 30 possibilities) is here: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/

Tried Ubuntu Touch a few years back. Seemed to be very much undercooked.
