Currently Libertine is advertised as a solution for running classic Ubuntu X11 desktop apps on UT (something like this is mentioned when the first Libertine container is created). Unfortunately this is not working perfperfectly right now.
But as far as I understood it, snap packages coming to UT should make it way easier to run normal Ubuntu desktop apps on UT. Is that correct?
So, in the future, will Libertine become a solution primarily for classic Terminal programs (like vim, gcc and ranger) and will people install classic desktop apps (like Gimp and Libreoffice) as a snap, if possible? Or will most of the problems with Libertine be solved with updates to Mir and it will continue as the default way to install classic GUI desktop apps? -
@UBportsNews Application development for Gnome on Mobile has been gaining some momentum lately and there already are some nice apps available. Is it technically possible / feasible / advisable to let Gnome Mobile apps run on UBports Ubuntu Touch? Or will it be ever in the future?
You see the mobile adapted applications if you search for #libadwaita in the following list:

Are we waiting for big surprises in the next version? I mean here obvious changes such as the interface, new features, or new applications. A simple overview if possible. I also request the integration of the feature of importing the configuration file for the VPN. I found the method in the forum and it has been tried.
VPN: import OpenVPN and WireGuard configurations using NetworkManager 'nmcli' -
@UBportsNews Thank you for answering and thank you for bringing snaps to UT
