Ubuntu Touch

<p>Ubuntu Touch is a mobile version of the <a href="/facts/Ubuntu/0WDd7hkb">Ubuntu</a> <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a>, developed by the UBports community. Its <a href="/facts/User_interface/e9sPEWVD">user interface</a> is written in <a href="/facts/Qt_(software)/gVhwlQnJ">Qt</a>, and is designed primarily for <a href="/facts/Touchscreen/zpSKDFpe">touchscreen</a> mobile devices such as <a href="/facts/Smartphone/cSIrBMWG">smartphones</a> and <a href="/facts/Tablet_computer/6pGX2I7b">tablet computers</a>. However, the original goal of convergence was intended to bring Ubuntu Touch to laptops, desktops, IOT devices and TVs for a complete unified user experience.
</p><p>The project was started by <a href="/facts/Canonical_(company)/76WPw1uW">Canonical Ltd.</a> but on 5 April 2017 its CEO <a href="/facts/Mark_Shuttleworth/cgJ218ec">Mark Shuttleworth</a> announced that Canonical would terminate support due to lack of market interest. It was then adopted by UBports as a community project. The UBports project was seeded by Marius Gripsgård in 2015 and the <a href="/facts/Source_code/o9J6Jv23">source code</a> was transferred to the UBports Foundation where it since resides. UBports' mission is to support the collaborative development of Ubuntu Touch and to promote its widespread use.
