      Would it be possible to use Box86 and Wine on Ubuntu Touch to run Desktop applications on the Desktop mode?
      Thank you!

        Short answer : in a libertine container you can try to make it work.
        That's the way for "regular" linux apps to run on Ubuntu Touch

          @AppLee, understood, but would that be capable of running Wine? Libertine appears to be enabling you to run regular applications with ARM compatibility from X11 to Unity8, whereas Wine would require an x86 platform to run to be able to execute x86 Windows applications. Could that even be feasible on Ubuntu Touch?

            @vijay If you run on an x86 system or virtualize the x86 support, it should be doable. Otherwise, no, you would be limited to ARM WIndows app with a Wine built for ARM.
