      @domubpkm Thanks, not for me then. I appreciate your clarification.

        @domubpkm This isn't really an apt description, and I think at least some of these issues are resolved for OTA-12 already. Many people are using libertine regularly for legacy apps.

        However, libertine is still simply a stopgap solution to allow using legacy apps when needed, with external input devices and monitor (or on phone for the few rare cases where it can actually be somewhat usable there). It is not a secondary means for getting additional native phone apps.

          Additional apps are what I wanted. Thanks for the information. Honestly, too, using Libertine sounds rather above my skill level.

            Also also, Libertine containers don't use any resources when not in use, except storage space. So there is no need to remove them, unless you want to reclaim the storage.

                @jjconstr In any case, there is nothing damaging to be feared 😉. But the best thing is for everyone to face his own experience with this tool !

                  Same here. I was expecting to see some commonly used open source apps in the Open Store for mobile usage (stripped/simplified) such as LibreOffice. I know it is intended for desktop usage, having an app for UT however could make work much more efficient. Like a MS Office365 app can be used on mobile phones perfectly, I hope to see similar options of UT dedicated appeared by LibreOffice soon-ish.

                    Even open source community prefers coding for systems that are widely used...
                    It's a pitty but understandable.
                    For example, there is no firefox for uTouch 😢

                    But the more people will use it, the more people will ask for their prefered app to be ported, the more devs willing do so.

                    Anyway, there is no LibreOffice for creating content, but there is document vieawer for reading it : https://open-store.io/app/com.ubuntu.docviewer

                      The UI of LibreOffice, Firefox or GIMP or any other "legacy apps" represent a huge part of the software.
                      Porting this kind of app to Ubuntu Touch is an enormous amount of work, sweat and headaches.

                      Plus the alternate UI has to be maintained to keep up with development of the main product.

                      If the maintainers (mainly corporations) do not have plans for UT it is unlikely to see a port.
                      It's too much for a small community or individuals.

                        Hence the usefulness of having Anbox that can run as well as possible some essential applications.

                        Since Volla wants an anbox that is as functional as possible, this should / could be beneficial to other phones. Let's hope so!
