Having flashed and played around with Ubuntu on my N4 I have found that it looks good but, as you would expect from the sort of build, that it is barely usable.
The browser app only produces a white screen and most things are generally broken, to be honest, I'm not in the least bit surprised seeing as it's a dev build but it would be nice if things worked a bit better.
I also noticed there was no way of accessing settings of any sort, aside from network settings. This may well be an oversight on my part but I did dig quite a bit.
I have not had a chance to play with the SDK as I'm on windows and can't find anyway to install/use it (and I really can't be bothered) so I have no comments on that.
From what I could tell, performance was pretty good, but that may just be the N4, and I noticed no huge drain in battery when I restored my CM10 backup, aside from what you'd expect from a backup, flash and restore.
I couldn't figure out how to use the docking mode (nor do I know if it's even in this version) so I also cannot comment on that.
However, I think I will be sticking to CM10 for now and I'll wait for a more usable version to come out before I begin to use Ubuntu more often.
How has everyone else found it?

Looks good
I installed Ubuntu on my galaxy nexus and while it does look good, it is very laggy and slow to respond to touch commands. Browser works fine but very slowly. I too did not find any "settings" menu or options. The camera works just fine and so does the gallery. Power button does the usual lock/unlock action, but the volume buttons seem to do nothing. Haven't heard any sounds on the device either. Will keep exploring the OS but so far, it really does feel like a preview, as Canonical has described.
Calls and sms work, and so does wifi. When i plugged in the headset during a call however, it did not work at all.
It is available for the Verizon s3 on RootzWiki just Google it.

One other thing I noticed when I was on my commute to school was that I couldn't turn off wifi, which did not help my battery, I do still really like the ui and I'm sure that it will be really good when it is finished

The browser worked for me, and I'm on a galaxy nexus.
You can access volume controls and brightness controls the same way you can network (note brightness is under battery indicator). There is no way to set date and time except from command line via adb or ssh. Out of curiosity what other settings would others like to access?
For the SDK, although I can't use QtCreator I am able to edit and compile code from a Windows 7 computer on the phone itself, using ssh with vim qmake, and even run some GUI programs using an X server, like gedit and meld.
Docking mode is unavailable, as far as I can tell. It probably will not be available until Mir is released, since I think the rootless X is being worked on for Mir.
I think Ubuntu Touch has a lot of potential.

I just switched over from a Nexus 5 to the Moto X. For starters I must say the I found he Nexus 5 extremely suitable to my needs (I've used pretty much every single flagship device out there).
I personally think Google has done a phenomenal job with KitKat.
Once I received my Moto X and turned it on, I was greeted with what seemed to be the Jelly Bean launcher but when I checked the firmware version it was indeed 4.4.2.
I used it a few days but found my self missing the feel of KK launcher on my N5.
I then side-loaded the official N5 launcher on to my MX and must say.. To me now this is by far the best phone I've ever owned.
Great Moto X functionality with the minimalist look and feel of the N5. Win.
Give it a try.. I think you might just like what you get.
EDIT: Link to JUSTrollin's post where you can find info on the launcher:

Which launcher is that? GEL? And where did you install it from?
What does it offer you extra?
Yeah more info is appreciated
I think he's talking about this launcher, which works with Moto X without any modification.

You can use OK Google now without ever touching your phone.

Yes, I like the larger icons and the swipe left to google now. I think it should be there stock.
Yeah, I posted in our Theme and Apps section about this same topic:

I really enjoy the GEL launcher and the phone itself. The combo of the launcher and touchless makes it the best phone I have used to date as well.
Yes it is the GEL launcher. What I did was disable the 'hot word detection' on Google now. Instead, I use the built in voice recognition of Moto X " OK. Google Now". It works better for me that way.

It lacks certain substances to be a true Nexus. Nexus phones are much easier to unlock bootloader, flashing without risking bricking, and much more rom developers.
Currently I'm using my Moto X without root, but I am looking forward to a Nexus phone that have touchless control.
OK, I've installed it, but I feel like I'm missing something. I can't find any settings to this launcher, can't add more homescreens, can't change app drawer orientation. What can this do what e.g. Nova can't? I don't see it.

You have to hold the home screen to open up widgets and settings but there is also an xposed module for it that let's you customize it more. You have to drag an app to the next screen to make another home screen like an iPhone. It is googles launcher which is integrated with Google now. You can say OK Google on the homescreen and it interacts with Google now, but I mean our phones do that without even having to turn it on.

I have posted on the nexus 5 threads and have recommended a lot of people to get the moto x. The nexus 5 was a disappointment in my eyes and Motorola should have been the one to make the 5, not lame LG. I will not buy nexus of LG keeps making them.
BTW, I purchased the n5 on release date and returned it after 3 days because the battery was horrible.

Supposedly rumors is Motorola will make the new nexus 6 and it will come with the latest 4.5 or 5.0. But I mean there have been reports that the n5 has had so many bugs and Google is suppose to release another update. But its past all the incremental updates like Google usually releases. So it seems like the n5 was a bust a disappointment?

Nexus 5 had a bad camera. What's really funny is Google had a commercial where a couple run off to the woods in a moonlit night and take pictures in really dark light and the pictures turn out great. Anyone who has owned the N5 know that is not possible. The phone had or has a tagline of "capture moments in epic new ways" or something along those lines. Whatever man...

It's all about perspectives. The Nexus 5 to me was a bigger bang for your buck than any other phone out there. The camera by no means is absolutely crap nor is it the best one out there. What it is though is a good camera; specially when you consider the price tag. It also has many great things going for it like the form factor, the engine under the hood, the display...etc and not to mention the smoothest Android experience money can buy.
For me personally, it was one of my favourite devices matched only by the Butterfly S and now the Moto x.. again for me..

Thinking of moving to ASOP based ( cm or paranoid, etc ) rom.
However the s health app with pedometer is a big miss for these roms.
What are the alternative apps that people are using. I tried a bunch of them but nothing seems to be working well like S health
Thanks
Did you ever find something suitable? I'm looking for the same thing.
Found few but nothing is as good as s health. The biggest issue had been having the app killed. S health runs 24 x 7 with no user input.

Its called google fit
It 's fairly accuuratr in counting steps, determining whether you are running or biking etc etc

I tried to side load the ota and it errors at package.zip. copied it over to twrp and when I try to flash it it says it's meant for a flounder while I have a volantis device. I unlocked the boot loader, used CFroot, and flashed twrp after using the factory images for the previous release.
IMO this the same as Q build but for folks like me and many others who could not install becase old recovey. I dont see many changes yet - browsing still drains like 1% every two minutes making this tablet piece of useless electronics.

I'm going to assume you haven't investigated what is causing your wakelocks. because that is abnormal drain time for any device. you are on lollipop, running old KitKat and donut software most likely . there are a number of free LP compatible wake lock analyzing options out there. solve your problems (in turn, help others with same issue), or consider going back to a pager.

Yeah I'm aware of such software and using it on my 1+1. However I wanted to at least try to use my Nexus 9 as "normal user" would do for the first time. Browsing still drains ridiculous amount of battery however I confirm that it is now much better on R build. And heating is much less.
Ps never owned a pager
any improvement on screen flicking?

I got tired of waiting for Google to issue a working OTA for those of us stuck on LRX21L so I flashed the LRX21R factory image. I'm very happy with it and am glad I took plunge. Noticeable improvements on smoothness. Device still gets hots at times but its improved IMO.
FYI.. I tried following googles instruction for flashing the image. It didn't work.. It crapped out on the SYSTEM.IMG.
Manually flashing each of the IMG files went fine though and all is now working great.
Lastly,
I'd like to point out the the device restore feature worked much better than I had hoped. It even managed to keep app data settings on a couple of apps (that don't have sign in accounts).

Does your camera works fine under Pixel Dust 10? As when I installed it, I could use camera for about one minute or few takes then camera windows went black and only restarting phone would make it work again.
Some times I had issue with Chrome but over all it was working pretty good
I have now returned to original Oreo 8.1 and looks like battery is working better as the phone it self. Ai
Although I have issue with Google play store, which I described on another post.

It has been a 2 month since ive used Pixel Dust now, Since im using Nexus 6p as a secondary phone i rarely take pictures with it. The sock camera app kept crashing so i moved to "open camera", which has been working fine for me. I have not experiences any issues with Chrome yet or any other app for that matter. My only issue now is the battery performance, i can only hot 2 hours of youtube video playback. its nice that you returned to 8.1, but i perosnally feel like i would lose lots of functionalities that i love like Always on Display.
