First Ubuntu Touch OTA Release Based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Is Out Now
The UBports Foundation announced today the general availability of the first Ubuntu Touch OTA release based on the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) operating system series.
To everyone’s surprise and while we were waiting for the Ubuntu Touch OTA-25 update, UBports pushed today a new stable update based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, entitled Ubuntu Touch OTA-1 Focal. This is the culmination of more than a year of hard work porting Ubuntu Touch from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
The Focal Fossa Ubuntu Touch OTA-1 update is currently only available for Fairphone 4, Google Pixel 3a, Vollaphone 22, Vollaphone X, and Vollaphone devices. UBports also mentioned the fact that this release supports Android phones running Android 9 or later.
As expected, the Ubuntu Touch OTA-1 Focal release runs the Lomiri UI, which is a fork of the Unity8 mobile interface developed and maintained by UBports, which wants to make it available to other distributions than Ubuntu.
Other noteworthy features include adoption of the systemd init system, Ayatana Indicators, and Waydroid, new porting style for device porters, as well as support for building many components against GCC 12 and Qt 5.15 LTS so it will be easier to port Ubuntu Touch to newer Ubuntu releases, such as Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
