Ubuntu Thinta ifike abantu bendawo abamangazayo nabantu abangabazi ngesiphakamiso esisha esihlose ukuncintisana ne-iOS enamandla onke ne-Android. Kubukeka sengathi unyaka lapho ezinye izinkampani zinqume ukwethula izinhlelo zazo zokusebenza ukuze ziqhudelane nalezo ezikhonyayo kuze kube manje. I-Telefónica izokwethula eyodwa, i-Tizen iyona entsha evela kwa-Samsung, futhi kubonakala sengathi iFirefox OS inokusekelwa yizinkampani eziningi. Ngenkathi, Ubuntu Thinta zama ukuthola indawo uwedwa. Intsha ukuthi uma unedivayisi I-CyanogenMod 10.1 ungahlola uhlelo lokusebenza lweCanonical ku-smartphone noma kuthebhulethi yakho.
Isivele itholakala ezinguqulweni zayo ezihlukene ze-Nexus 4, i-Galaxy Nexus, i-Nexus 7 ne-Nexus 10, kodwa okwamanje kubonakala sengathi kuzothatha isikhathi ukufinyelela amanye amadivayisi. Kodwa-ke, kubonakala sengathi ngeke kuthathe isikhathi eside ukukwazi ukuyihlola kuwo wonke ama-smartphones namathebulethi, inqobo nje uma sinenguqulo ye-CyanogenMod 10.1 efakiwe. Futhi sithi yizame ngoba kungenzeka ukuthi ukuba yinguqulo esekuningi okumele kusebenze, uzogcina usubuyela ku-Android. Kodwa-ke, akukubi neze ukukwazi ukubona ukuthi kusebenza kanjani nokuthi uyini umuzwa wokusebenzisa Ubuntu. Kungenziwa kodwa, okwamanje, ngomzamo omncane nolwazi olungatholakali kuwo wonke umuntu, nakuba kuyisibonakaliso esihle sokuthi esikhathini esizayo esiseduze kuyoba lula kakhulu.
Futhi ukuthi, ukufinyelela kumadivayisi amaningi, Ubuntu empeleni busekelwe ku-Android ne-CyanogenMod. Engakuthathi ku-Android umshini wayo we-dalvik Java, okhiqiza lokho kuncipha ohlelweni lokusebenza lwe-Mountain View. Kodwa-ke, lo mshini unomthwalo wemfanelo, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso, wokusebenzisa izinhlelo zokusebenza, ngakho-ke alikho ithemba lokusekelwa komdabu, okungenani okwamanje. Nokho, ithatha yonke ikhodi ye-C/C ++ evela ku-Android, eyenza ifakeke kunoma iyiphi idivayisi ye-Android, futhi isebenziseke kalula kunoma ubani osenayo kakade i-CyanogenMod 10.1. Kwenziwa kanjani? Kulapho kulele khona ubunkimbinkimbi. I-Canonical inikeze ikhasi elinemiyalo yokuthi ungabufaka kanjani Ubuntu kumasistimu nge-Custom ROM, kodwa ayindawo abaningi abangakwazi ukuyifinyelela. Uma usenentshisekelo, ungabheka i- ingxenye ehambisanayo yekhasi layo elisemthethweni.
Kokunye kunethemba lokuthi abathuthukisi be-XDA Developers bakha uhlelo olulula olusebenzisa ingxenye yenqubo ngokuzenzakalelayo, ukuze ngaleyo ndlela Ubuntu Thinta ifinyeleleke kakhudlwana kwabanye abasebenzisi.
