Is it possible to run Android apps on Ubuntu? And I don't mean inside an emulator, but natively, as you would with any other application installed using the Ubuntu Software Center.

Do you know if there is an Ubuntu program (possibly a Nautilus plugin) to transfer files from/to an Android device?  What is my mind is a program which does adb push, adb pull, and adb shell ls in the background and has a GUI.  Note that ADB allows for broader filesystem access than MTP and UMS.

So I've a feeling this is a very noob question but...   Is the only difference between flavors of Ubuntu the graphical interfaces and installed packages? Will they all be equally capable of running 3rd party programs, i.e. Chrome, Dropbox, Android Studio, Steam, etc?  I've a new PC on which I live tested Ubuntu 16.04 and it runs fine. However, I don't care for Unity and if Xubuntu/Lubuntu are lighter weight does that just mean I'm just sacrificing visuals for performance? Ubuntu 16.04 is the commercial release(?) so is its specific set-up just a little more reliable? Don't quite get Linux yet,there's so much choice I'm confused!

in our company we developed an android app installed on nexus 7 tablets and on tablet we release to several customers. This app stays in foreground active 24/7 but we have problems in monitoring  the devices due to the restrictive access policies of unrooted Android devices.   We can't for example reboot the device remotely.  We are evaluating the possibility of installing Ubuntu touch to replace android on this tablets. Does Ubuntu touch offer more freedom for the remote access of the device? May I do remotely everything I could do normally with the tablet?   Moreover, are the apps developed with ubuntu sdk stable enough to run 24/7?  Thanks

Can Ubuntu 16.04 work with touch screen computers?  The question '' only had one answer that was related to Ubuntu touch, and didn't say anything about the standard Ubuntu (I couldn't leave a comment cos I only have 18 reputations).  Is Ubuntu compatible and usable with touch screens and 2-in-1 computers?

Ok, I was kind of surprised that this hadn't been asked here before, but maybe it's too technical for this site. You guys decide.  I've heard lots of different stories about setting up Wine on Ubuntu, WineTricks, PlayOnLinux etc., but never a 'This is the best way to do it for Steam and Steam games' thread.  So has anyone had any real success getting their Steam games to run on Ubuntu through Wine or something similar? If so, could we get some specific steps?

Canonical has recently announced , which is Ubuntu with a specific interface for mobile devices.  Where can I get phones with this version of Ubuntu pre-installed? If no devices are available yet, where can I pre-order one?

I would like to know whether there is a way to tell Android to install applications on the micro SD card by default instead of having to download applications to internal memory first and then having to move them to the SD card manually.  Thanks

I'm new to Ubuntu. What's the application extension for development reasons? I know Windows is mainly .exe and Mac is .dmg or .app. Does Linux have an unique one?

As most of you know, in the Microsoft Store, there are . This means that on Windows I can emulate Ubuntu and have the Ubuntu command line directly on Windows.  The question is very easy: what can’t I do from the Ubuntu command line emulated in Windows that I can do on a proper Linux-based Ubuntu? Is it useful to download this Ubuntu application, install it, and work just with it instead of the real OS? Is it possible to install all the development libraries? Can I write (or not) device drivers? In other words: what are the limits?  What features of Ubuntu Linux-based are missing from Ubuntu-on-Windows?  New answers are welcome: I know that every software is always changing by improving characteristics and features!

I recently found out about Ubuntu for Android Multi-Core Smartphones and was digging around on the Ubuntu website as well as the Canonical website but have yet to find any information on if it available to the public yet ?  I am very interested to try it our on my Android and if it is available for the public am wondering where and how I can get a copy of "Ubuntu for Android" ?  If it is not available then perhaps someone can shed some lite on what sort of timeframe it will be until it is available to the general public?

This is a common question by those who have just rooted their phones.  What apps, ROMs, benefits, etc. do I get from rooting?  What should I be doing now?

I am interested in trying the new Ubuntu for phones OS development. (I am not an Ubuntu developer, I am new to Ubuntu. Impressed by the Ubuntu Touch preview, I got interested in learning how to develop for it).  Where can I start with it? I can't find any guidance on the Ubuntu site.
