Why Does Ubuntu Touch Fail?
Contents

One of the biggest issues—if not THE biggest issue—with Ubuntu Touch was that it simply had goals that were far too aggressive to reasonably achieve. It suffered from the all-too-common malady known in software development as feature creep. In short, just about everything. This is a huge—nay, mammoth—undertaking.

Is Ubuntu touch abandoned?

Ubuntu Touch, as the smartphone distro was to be called, was abandoned several years ago, but a small team called UBports picked up the project. Apparently, Ubuntu Touch still exists, and now it supports 64-bit applications.

How good is Ubuntu touch?

Ubuntu Touch was decent, good enough to be a daily driver back when it was supported. But the instant Canonical abandoned it, it wasn’t worth it anymore. They did so because they had been making a loss on it for quite a while, so I get it.
