What's /g/ take on Ubuntu and Firefox OS's for mobile?

they're dead

Dead as in Windows Phone or dead as in dead?

>>59790954
Well Ubuntu is botnet. So installing that on your phone wouldn't be any better than stock Android. Custom Android is best.

What improvements has the community done to it? Or changes in general?

>>59791556
Nothing yet, It only officially died less than week ago.
It's still warm.

>>59790954
both are dead.

Both are trash. Sailfish OS was the only alternative mobile OS that was fun to use but it had no apps, the official hardware was super outdated and overpriced, and there were a lot of proprietary components. Development has basically ground to a halt as well. Windows mobile is botnet and iOS is gay and locked down. Then there's Android that's full of bloat and you have to flash Lineage OS if you want regular updates.

There are no good mobile operating systems.

What about Symbian and BB OS?

>>59791686
Both are kill. Nokia and BB make Android phones now.

>>59791742
Doesn't Nokia make budget phones with Symbian on them still?

And fuck, didn't they just release that 3300 copycat phone with some flash based OS?

>>59790954
They're dead. Move on to sailfish OS. It's much faster than these 2 anyway, and can run android apps.

>>59791644
An anon said here that sailfish is still happening and that Sony was gonna release a sailfish phone in a few months. Was I lied to? I really hoped I'd move from android to sailfish soon.

Is there an alternative that doesn't run everything on Java? It looks like most alternatives are either dead or based on Android.

Ubuntu's mobile OS seemed neat, tried it on my Nexus 7 years ago and it didn't go too well but I'd imagine things have improved since then. As for Firefox OS, it's basically Mozilla's cellphone version of Chrome OS, and while interesting I'd never bother with it.
