Ubuntu Touch... I was so excited about it that I bought one of the phones with it preloaded. I even used it as my sole daily driver for months, until I learned that I was not receiving all calls made to me. Even after that I kept hoping it would keep developing so that I could pick it up again one day. But then Canonical abandoned it instead. That's when they became as good as dead to me.
“canonical with their Mir, snaps etc”
