Currently, the mobile operating system is occupied by Apple-Google duopoly, with their iOS and Android (respectively) occupying over 99% of the worldwide mobile OS market share [1]. However, it doesn’t have to be that way.

This talk will talk about Ubuntu Touch (https://ubuntu-touch.io), an alternative operating system for smartphones. It’s not yet another Android fork; rather, Ubuntu Touch is based on Ubuntu Linux and strives to give a truly different choice to freedom- and privacy-conscious users.

This talk will give you the overview of what Ubuntu Touch is, the history of it, and how it’s built, as well as the landscape of Linux-based mobile operating systems in general.
