      BTW the document reader is based on libreoffice that's why it is so huge ; lots of dependencies.

        How about a seperate category in the app store for desktop apps that are run in a container that switches the screen orientation and window manager.

          Not possible to implement that idea yet, unless a community developer steps up and volunteers for a lot of hours dedicated to that task. The rebase to 20.04 opens up the possibility to some desktop apps eventually working better in Libertine, especially ones with dynamic guis, like Geary 40.

            @hobanwashburn quite frankly libertine sucks as is it needs to be more user friendly or esentially a background task that the app store utilizes.

              @hobanwashburn Libertine is an experimental feature, and is incomplete. It's also only a crutch. It's not going to make legacy apps usable on a phone with only touch input. It's there for using legacy apps when connected to external display with mouse and keyboard.

                @dobey you dont need to patronize me I fully understand how libertine works and its limitations the container could be a good idea if there were an app type handler script. Also it wouldnt be so clunky if the container worked in tandem with the app store and the file manager ie making .deb packages easier to import for non terminal users.

                  @hobanwashburn Libertine containers can be administered, i.e. created, populated with debs, updated and deleted, from an, admittedly spartan, UI in the Libertine section in the system settings. No need to use the terminal at all.

                    @hobanwashburn A phone tied to a fixed keyboard and monitor loses its reason for existence: mobility. You might as well use a normal computer.

                    That's a weird thing to say on a forum about an OS that is widely known for it's docking capabilities : Convergence πŸ™‚

                      @nero355 After intense tests, whe found out that it is possible to run LibreOffice on a PinePhone (PostmarketOS, but not Ubuntu Touch), also for non-developers. It is the option which has been tested the most, and was written about the most. There are issues left, but there also instructions to resolve these issues available. Developers welcome.

                        @peter-gamma The OP already mentioned that LibreOffice works on other PinePhone OS's, but not in Libertine on Ubuntu Touch. Repeatedly mentioning this fact does not help bringing a solution to the issue closer.

                        While I genuinely am happy that you have found a solution that suits your specific needs, It would be more helpful finding a way to move this project forward in this regard, rather than repeatedly, and it seems in every thread you can, mentioning that it works for you on another distro. I would like to remind you that this is the Ubuntu Touch forums, after all.
