I'm talking about the OS made for PC. what would happened if I install it on android phone? will it figure out the hardware or is it a guarantee way to kill a phone?

checking if anyone tried before I sacrifice my old phone. this is not a duplicate with ubuntu touch or supported devices! this sticking a laptop OS to phone without source customization

    Ask yourself two questions: What processor does my phone have? Does Ubuntu make a version for that processor? – Organic Marble Jul 29 '18 at 21:24
  • Note that Canonical ended development of Ubuntu Touch and any work on phones in April 2017. – K7AAY Jul 29 '18 at 21:49

    Short answer is no, and it's not at all sensible. You can perhaps run it in a chroot on top of Android, as is done with the Samsung Dex for example, but you cannot run it instead of Android. – dobey Jul 29 '18 at 22:32

18.04 will never work for there is no 18.04 version of Ubuntu Touch. Canonical ended development of Ubuntu Touch and any work on phones in April 2017.

  • I am aware of that, I'm not talking about Ubuntu touch. I remembered few years back I managed to install windows 95 on my phone as a POC and it worked. it did require additional work, and it wasn't easy to use, but hey.. it worked..

    I wonder if anyone tried ubuntu 18.04 (laptop version) on a phone or tablet.. or fridge..
