How to install Ubuntu Phone OS on Jolla [subjective]

I need a real operating system to do real work on my phone. I am also a hobbyist developer, and Ubuntu has a more mature, serious developer ecosystem. Need ideas or suggestions on how to install Ubuntu Phone OS on a Jolla.

Thanks!

What can you do with Ubuntu Phone that you can't with Sailfish? I'm just curious, intention is not start a mobile distoro war, I just want to know where Ubunu Phone is ahead of Sailfish. As a answer to your question: as far is I know it is not (easily) possible to install any other OS to Jolla.

The bootloader can be unlocked and Ubuntu uses libhybris like Sailfish does. Happy porting! :)

If you were a REAL developer, you'd know that you can't just "install" an operation system on any hardware. Furthermore your question is a duplicate of https://together.jolla.com/question/81218/ubuntu-phone-on-jolla/

While I usually stick to the saying "don't feed the troll", I suggest you buy one of the availabe Ubuntu phone devices or get a device which works with the Ubuntu flash-installer: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices

Good luck and I look forward to see and try your future real apps on my 2nd device, running Ubuntu phone.
