Well, maybe I’ll hold out for something else then lol. Gesture navigation is my least favorite thing on any device (I disable it in Android right out of the box and go back to 3 button nav). I’m old and hate having to remember if I need to do the hokey pokey or the Macarena with my fingers to perform basic actions lol.
It’s all edge gestures and just four of them, so not really anything fancy to remember. They all feel really intuitive by my experience. Of course you might not like it, but I would certainly not avoid trying Ubuntu Touch because of the gestures! :)
I also disabled gestures and stick to three buttons in Android, for what it’s worth.
Fair enough. Definitely not for me, though. I want discrete controls without any ambiguity or potential for accidental invocation.
What I really want in a Linux phone is basically a palmtop computer with keyboard that can also do phone and SMS/MMS lol. So, Debian + an IMS stack, I guess? lol
