Does anyone know if Ubuntu Touch supports flatpaks? I’ve been following the project and think what they’re doing is super cool for mobile Linux. I’ve even been thinking about installing it on one of my devices just to try it out at some point.
One problem though. Does it support flatpak? If not, that might be a deal breaker. All the best mobile friendly apps are easily available through flathub. It’s also my preferred way to get them since snap is not as good and natives packages are bound to be outdated given Ubuntu Touch’s current version.
This is a community project though. They aren’t affiliated with canonical I think as they’re not an official spin.
The footer of the Ubuntu Touch site:
Not sure what you thought you were into, but…
But this is on their faq
Right, but just because you have people maintaining the project, it’s still based on Canonical’s Ubuntu, therefore Snap by default. Take it up with their community if you don’t like that, that’s the point of community outreach.
I’m not saying I have any problem with it, it’s their work after all. I was just asking a question since I couldn’t find anything that clarified the project’s position. And tbh I would feel very uncomfortable entering their channels, asking if they support flatpak and then leaving. So I figured I would ask on lemmy and leave the information for all who were equally curious.
