Would you like to use the same applications you use on your desktop or laptop using your smartphone? As long as you use Ubuntu or derivatives (Linux Mint, BackBox, Gnoppix ...), this is possible thanks to Ubuntu for Android , developed by Canonical for this. The project aims to provide a complete Linux environment and is integrated with the device through technical solutions prepared by Canonical and through the cooperation of producers who want to install this option on their devices. Among the solutions we find a special Canonical: Ubuntu will use the same kernel and Android Android / Linux to work, so you have very high levels of performance and do not have to modify the kernel GNU / Linux Ubuntu kernel to fit the Android / Linux.
There is a video online in which they demonstrated the potential of the project, although it is still under development, already shows the muscles. In the video, it uses a Motorola Atrix LibreOffice 2 to open and prove that you can use your smartphone as a PC. The performances are not to scream, but considering that the project will evolve yet we can expect great things. This is a big step towards bringing different worlds: the world of desktop and smartphone world, along with the worlds Linux and Android. Worlds far away, but slowly converge. We look forward to know the official Canonical partners.
