Ubuntu Touch exists and I have it installed on my backup Fairphone 5. In terms of the OS itself, it seems pretty solid and performs well. However it is very spartan in terms of both the interface itself as well as the apps available to interact with the OS in various ways.

It's a very small team working on it and as far as I can tell they aren't exactly drowning in funding. I bet if every person that would like to see another OS option donated a cup of coffee amount of money to them every month they would probably have what they want in the next 3-5 years.

I don't see that happening though. ~~I think most~~

You think most? But that's a great suggestion, I'll check out their funding page.

Lol, sorry, I re-wrote my final sentence, and didn't delete how I started it originally 😅.
