In 2008 I discovered FOSS when tasked to write a custom holiday rental/hire system for a members association. I attempted to use WAMP but discovered LAMP and used that approach. It was an eureka moment that took me down the GNU/LINUX route to find an operating system to use on my PCs instead of Windows XP. I tried and tested several distros running on XP virtually under Virtual Box including Fedora, Mint, openSUSE, CentOS, various derivatives based on Ubuntu and settled on installing Ubuntu Gnome and have stuck with Ubuntu despite the sometimes controversial change to Unity and now to Gnome3. I recently tried out Deepin Linux on my backup laptop and found it fast to boot and run apps although it is perhaps rather pretty. Being conservative I've decided to stick with tried and tested reliable Ubuntu on my day to day work laptop.

I for my sins have Mint, Ubuntu and windows on various machines.

I don't disagree with you but would it not be more sensible to have Ubuntu on his/her PC? Or is mazzhablog just hoping to have a play with ubuntu touch? Android can be installed on a PC so I wonder if that could be a start to having ubuntu touch on a PC?

They were asking about running Ubuntu Touch on their pc. Which as stated it can't.

May I suggest that you consider downloading Ubuntu Desktop https://www.ubuntu.com/#download and trying it out live from a USB device or DVD without changing your PC's Operating System. https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/try-ubuntu-before-you-install#0 . I've been delighted in using Ubuntu as the Operating System on all my PCs since 2008. Very soon I hope to install Ubuntu Touch on my devices currently running the Android Operating System.
