question is, will it happen or not.im not asking about an ETA
Just if it will be possible or not.
Nothing is impossible..as you can see Samsung didn't cared to release updates after GB..but our mighty development staff..provided us with ICS n JB..that too running better than Samsung's GB.. :D

Ubuntu OS ,currently only for Nexus Devices..official launch in October 2013..so wait for sources to leak..then development will begin.. :cool:

This thing isn't even remotely as easy as ICS/JB was. The system image itself is huge and the os is a ram hog so unless someone finds a way to optimize the way it uses resources and such, no way

Why is it so resource heavy? Is there a specific area it needs it for? It strikes me as a relatively simple OS.
Google and checkout for the video of the Ubuntu OS as explained in the ces 2013 on YouTube. With so much to offer, you can't really expect it to be light enough to run on our phones. It will take up a lot of ram obviously. Besides, Ubuntu for ace ?! :what: We're just building castles in mid-air if we think that it's happening any time soon.

Why not Ubuntu for Ace?

Ace already have a half working CM10.1 (4.2.2). Who would have thought it would work in the galaxy ace...
Ubuntu I guess it should be the same, slow, and half things working. But it would still work.

Ubuntu doesn't support armv6 so that's the first problem also every single app that I'd on there would have to be ported and every future app will also have to be ported also with regards to the cm 10.1 port the device needs a proper cm port in order for it to count look at it like this

Galaxy s2 - stable cm10.1 horribly laggy crashy Ubuntu (it's a dev preview but still)

Galaxy ace horrible laggy crashy cm10.1.+ armv6 architecture- lucky if it boots up

I'm not gonna go so far as to say it won't happen but you would have to find a dev crazy enough to try porting it and even if he/she (don't wanna be sexist) defys all odds and makes it the same speed as on nexus devices (I.e horribly laggy) it would still have guaranteed very limited usability because of Ubuntu's lack of armv6 support

PHONE SLOW CLICK ME?
