        Hey there.

        Just ordered Nexus 5 so i can try this out. Im just wondering how extensive Ubuntu touch libraries are. Will i be able to use everything core Ubuntu has to offer like realmd or kvm?

          I think that you will have to investigate libertine and desktop apps for running linux programs other than those which are available in the OpenStore.

          Nexus4, Meizu MX4, Meizu Pro5, PinePhone UBPorts edition, PineTab, Pixel 3a XL

            Ubuntu Touch is not a traditional PC Linux distro, so no, you can't just use everything in the same way as you might with such a linux distribution.

            In particular, I don't think any of the supported devices have any virtualization support, so you wouldn't be able to use qemu/kvm on them, no. As mentioned though, you can create a Libertine container for using legacy CLI and X11 applications, though many apps may have various issues with that.
