The UBports project is well known among members of the Ubuntu Phone community, as they are porting Canonical’s Ubuntu Touch mobile operating system on a bunch of devices that are a lot more popular than what Canonical currently offers. For example, UBports allows you to install Ubuntu Touch on smartphones like OnePlus One and Nexus 5, and it will soon be supported on Nexus 10, Optimus L90, Nexus 6, Oneplus X, and many other widely-used smartphones and tablets.
