From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How are you liking it? I'm waiting for the wifi issues to be resolved, but I'm on board as soon as that happens.
Ah. Ubuntu touch has the driver included, you just need to activate it. It is still the buggy driver, but it is a driver.
I am liking the experience a lot, for me it works fine, exept for the screen being rotated. I would suggest getting one.
I will have to say bluetooth also does not work yet, and kde (the default with danctnix) does not work really wel with a touchscreen.
Thanks!
How are you with the CLI? Are you using Wayland, and have you tried X? X may give you better options for managing your geometries. Have you tried xrandr to manage the rotation? Have you tried arandr, the GUI version?
If you can get it rotated the way you like, there are a couple of packages that can persist and restore your layout, but autorandr is probably where you might start.
I almost live in my terminal...
But can you run lomiri on X? Mir is like wayland, where the shell and the wm are bound to the display server, and they work on that specific display server right? If it would be possible to run lomiri on X, I an trying that immediatly!
Gosh, I thought Mir was abandoned. I doubt that Lomiri runs on X, based on the brief look I gave it. Well, good luck, and if you figure it out, don't hesitate to provide a postfix here!
Yea, so I updated the post with my current solution. Also, I moved away from ubuntu touch, because of lomiri not supporting X apps like libreoffice. Therefore I do not recommend ubuntu touch... But I am going to try postmarketos+kde plasma mobile. I will update if that works better.
