I'd buy this yesterday if it had usa bands. https://www.ttfone.com/products/tt990 Anyone know if this exists in a different variant I'm all ears.

Import-export function is included and compatible with many other major authentificator apps. Available on F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid.

Regarding the calendar, maybe you can sync it via CalDAV.

Its great to see your videos as inspiration.

A lot of us are probably looking at getting a Linux phone, so your experience is gonna be really enjoyable for us (I hope for you too).

As for Steam, I think you should also get some games from GOG just so that Steam doesn't become a huge monopoly. Valve is a good actor for now, but it's good to keep others around too.

Keep up the good work!

Look forward to hearing how things develop. I've just installed postmarketOS on an old phone for similar reasons. Not got as far as the waydroid setup yet but out the box it does most of the things I need.

Which allows many to ditch a big bad proprietary OS in the first place. So ditching Valve's software and platform, albeit proprietary, may not be the ultimate priority, when there are other proprietary software to focus on.

Like others, I'm interested in your experiment with UBtouch, looking forward to it. You mention there is no open source alternative to Steam. True, but there is a drm-free one (GOG.com), also important for software freedom. And it works well with an open source launcher (heroic). Even though many games are missing, and the games themselves are not OSS either. But yeah, still bound to Steam for many games, did not manage ditching it either.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your switching from iPhone to Ubuntu Touch. For any questions like not working contacts from nextcloud or similar, i believe you can just ask on mastodon with correct #ubports hash or asking on https://forums.ubports.com/ 🀞

My Android smartphone's been agonizing for over a year now, so its funerals will happen very soon... I've been looking for alternatives but haven't made up my mind yet :)
