Fully functional, I run it currently on a Fairphone 4. Every phone feature works, AFAIK. Native app selection could be better, but android apps work via waydroid. Probably not banking apps, though… Haven’t even tried. :D
I think that on fairphone 5 it works, but not on fp6. As far as I can remember, I checked quite some time ago. Out of curiosity, what do you need the ram for?
Run a server at home with a big GPU, set up a VPN to get remote access, get access to high quality self-hosted models regardless of how much RAM your phone has
Phones are like the worst place to back everything up. When shit goes tits up, you have to read data straight off the chip rather than a removable drive.
The Fairphone, however, has a MicroSDXC slot, so even if you get a 5 with less storage than the 6, you can just buy a microsd card, it supports up to 2TB I believe. As a bonus if your phone dies, you’ll still have access to your data unless it somehow manages to take the microsd card with it.
Ubuntu Touch?
… Is it functional? Which device do you have to use it on?

Oh, cool! Does it also work on more modern hardware like the Fairphone 6…? I need more raaaammmm

running local AI models lol
and also like, having multiple apps open without them running out of memory and reloading, that’s annoying

Also I need lots of storage (at minimum 256GB) because my phone is an offline backup of my photos, music, English Wikipedia, movies, etc
