Hi @manoiese

I do appreciate your intentions here.

But you're wrong.

Libertine is getting more or less obsolete. Nowadays as @ikoz pointed out, we have snaps getting supported.
Still in early stage, but the goal of Alfred, who did all the heavy lifting, is for him to be able to develop for Ubuntu Touch from an Ubuntu Touch device. We use an immutable file system for good reasons. The fact that you don't know that means that you didn't read much on this forum or about Ubuntu Touch. But it might also be because you had access to outdated information. For the aforementioned reasons we probably won't follow your suggestions. But your take on the documentation is true.
We try to make those information more easily accessible but somehow people seem to get old news from I don't know where.
We have FAQ on the forum and on Telegram as well as weekly Q&A where these questions are answered again and again.
The porting documentation is being updated and the overall documentation seems pretty clear to me.
But people keep coming here expecting Ubuntu Touch to be something that it has never been and will never be.
That's a mystery to me, but I would love to understand where it comes from so we can fix it. My conclusion is that as a developer, you should take a look at the documentation to understand what is Ubuntu Touch, how to develop for it on the application level or at system level.
My advice, before wanting to teach seasoned developers (which I am not) here a lesson, try learning about the project and asking questions. Only then you can become a master and start teaching the newcomers.

Ubuntu Touch is pretty complex and rushing in won't get you anywhere.
It takes time to get familiar with the project and to be able to contribute.
So take it easy and proceed step-by-step.
Your enthusiasm is appreciated and I hope you will be become a valued contributor if you take the time to learn and contribute.

Kindly yours
