UBUNTU TOUCH in 2026: it's really close!

A 2026 revisit of Ubuntu Touch running on the Volla Phone Quintis, comparing it to the 2021 experience. The UI remains largely unchanged from its Unity-era design but still holds up well, with gesture navigation, a left-side dock, and a polished look. Key improvements include fixed bugs in settings, working Google account sync, and Waydroid integration that allows running Android apps without Google Play Services. Major limitations remain: no banking apps, poor browser performance, no fingerprint sensor support, desktop mode didn't work, and app selection is very limited. Waydroid partially bridges the gap but lacks notification integration and Google Play Services. Ubuntu Touch is positioned as an enthusiast OS suitable for digital-detox lifestyles, not a full Android/iOS replacement.
