UBports project has recently unveiled the latest Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 firmware, which is a continuation of the development on a branch based on the Ubuntu 24.04 package base. This firmware is part of the ongoing efforts by UBports to maintain and improve the Ubuntu Touch mobile platform, which they took over after Canonical discontinued its development. In addition to the mobile platform, UBports is also working on an experimental port of the desktop Unity 8, now known as Lomiri.
However, one challenge with the latest Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 firmware is the increase in firmware size, which means that the update may not fit into the reserved space for the operating system section on some previously supported devices. As a result, developers are currently working on generating assemblies for these devices in the coming days to ensure compatibility.
