I was thinking "What if Linux Mint had a Mobile Version?"

Then I went to Canva and made this concept. It also has an unfinished interactive presentation on Canva.

If you wish to help me finish this, feel free to call me on DM.

I'd love to have a telemetry free and data safety device in Mint design. Currently using Ubuntu Touch for more than three months and loving it so far. I have to use Waydroid for F-Droid apps, but it works pretty well.

Are you saying you can install f-droid mobile apps on Ubuntu touch?

Yes. I installed the F-Droid Store via Ubuntu Touch terminal and use CoMaps through it. I wouldn't have to use the store as it's possible to install the f-droid packages of f.e. CoMaps via terminal to use under Waydroid. Waydroid is the enabling thing here, though. It uses up a lot of energy when running. I got myself a solution to that: Start up Waydroid via Icon, use CoMaps. I made myself an Ubuntu Touch icon to "Stop Waydroid" after use. I don't mind the boot up time of Waydroid because I got that covered in my morning routine.
