Hi guys, I was wondering what the status is for ubuntu working with android tablets/phones, I have an old tablet, that I got several years ago, and it was a very nice system for a long time. But when I starting playing around with it again recently I discovered that android stops producing updates for older systems. It's an older tablet, but it's really strange that in the time I stopped using it, there are no updates whatsoever... maybe 6 years? So they basically stopped updating it, soon after they put it on the market because I got it brand new, used it for a couple years, had it updated, then have left it off for a long time after that, so I am totally unable to get any more updates for it from that time period.
It's really strange to me, firefox which has darkmode and support for security extensions is totally broken, even though the system hasn't changed since I last used it several years ago, google products all work fine, and I can't get any system updates now whatsoever. I've never even turned on the system since it was working perfectly years ago, and all of the sudden firefox is broken? And chrome is just fine? Anyways I searched around android forums, and other forums for answers, and discovered they simply stop supplying updates, so I am unable to fix my android tablet at this point, unless I can get a custom linux operating system for it.
( I even managed to update firefox, from the google play store, and it was still broken!)
I *could* technically fix it as well by installing a new android version with unsupported methods, but why the hell would anyone do something that stupid, when we have linux!
