pure-maps VS ubuntu-touch

I am assuming this is talking about Android, but for Mobile Linux, Pure Maps has been awesome: https://rinigus.github.io/pure-maps/

I have been successfully using it for over four months now for both car an bike navigation.

Pure Maps with OSM Scout Server for offline mapping and geolocation

Pure Maps (map/navigation app) -- works, but lacks some features.

Thanks. I opened an issue and it seems to be a bug.

OSMAND (like any Android app) is unlikely to be ported, but we have PureMaps, which is quite solid: https://github.com/rinigus/pure-maps, and GNOME Maps has been improving lately, too.

Ok, this one I'll agree with for the most part. Well, not to the same extent but whatever. Gotta say though, the Sailfish and Plasma Mobile communities have been cross-pollinating tech quite a bit lately; Sailfish Connect is based on KDE Connect, while Pure Maps was ported to Kirigami (and UUI for Lomiri). Yes, many of the mobile Linux projects have historically been rather isolated from each other. However, this is an area which the Qt-based ones have been getting better at rectifying for a while now. Hopefully this continued cross-pollination continues, as the entire mobile Linux ecosystem will be all the better for it.

For navigation there's Pure Maps: https://github.com/rinigus/pure-maps

Ubuntu Touch, for example, does not support Full Disk Encryption, when Android has moved on from Full Disk Encryption to File-Based Encryption. Android utilises SELinux in enforcing mode for Mandatory Access Control even for root/superuser processes. Sandboxing with Flatpak cannot compare to the OS-level app sandboxing done on Android and iOS. Permission management on Flatpak is good, but still not as advanced as Android or iOS. On phones, (real) Linux is quite easily outclassed in security when compared to Android.

For those seeking a change https://ubports.com/

It still uses many of the Android components via Halium on traditional Android devices which end up unpatched and for devices not with a mainline kernel use outdated vendor kernels. https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1566

I'd suggest taking a look at contributing to existing efforts like UBPorts

Ubuntu Touch doesn't even have encryption and ships kernels with many known security issues: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/178

Fyi, the project isn't dead, it is just not developed by Canonical anymore: https://ubports.com/

There is already Ubport https://ubports.com/ project that is supporting Ubuntu for smartphones and guides you to compile debian with all the phone functionalities. Some parts of modem abstraction layer on the Linux (below radio Interface layer) will still be not openesource and i would say it won't be easy to get this source.
