After a bit of fixing in Mir, QtMir & Lomiri I am happy to report better stability of the desktop with Mir 2.20. It's far from finished but needless to say it's nice that using Firefox doesn't crash the desktop anymore. Also some screenshots of the workspace management.

Finally tax-debt free! Thank you again to everybody helping me since my initial call for help.
- DeltaTouch - Lomiri - On a Laptop What's different though? Both are Snaps, including the desktop! image
Ever wondered what a few key differences between Mainline Linux & libhybris Adaptations are? Look no further than here:
I hope you're looking forward to my FOSDEM 25 talk "Mainline vs libhybris: Technicalities, down to the buffer":

 See ya in Brussels!
I've invested some time in making Ubuntu Touch apps available on more targets through an example Snapcraft project, starting right from the default C++ Clickable project and extending it by Snap Packaging. This also allowed for the lomiri-ui-toolkit-core24 to grow, both in capabilities and correctness for a Snap environment. If you also want to see more of your favorite Ubuntu Touch apps on the Ubuntu Desktop then go ahead and look at this example right here:

I've something to share for running Snaps on Halium devices, and it's a gpu-2404 provider for Snaps to take advantage of.
Snapcraft
Install hybris-2404 on Linux | Snap Store
Get the latest version of hybris-2404 for Linux - libhybris libraries for core24 snaps
 The idea is to ship userspace drivers as snaps to consume by other snaps, and it's providing the same ABI-compatible equivalents to EGL, GLESv2, etc. Fun fact: the gpu-2404 interface provides a way for hybris-2404 to set up the LD_PRELOAD hack that maybe a handful of devices rely on. It fits beautifully in there.

Ubuntu Touch OTA-7 Focal Release
OTA-7 Release Notes
 Focal OTA-7 is the one you want for Fairphone 4 and 5 to reconnect external screens again. Also printers pop up in system-settings via the CUPS Snap.
