Ubuntu for mobile devices via virtual network computing

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

if you don't own an Android, iOS or iPadOS device, just open a web
browser and run an Ubuntu flavour online (perhaps using an adblocker):
https://www.onworks.net/os-distributions/ubuntu-based

Android:
https://www.onworks.net/applications/android-apps/ubuworks-ubuntu-from-android

I tested it for iPadOS.
https://apps.apple.com/app/ubuntuow-connection-vnc/id1433327149#?platform=ipad
There's no way to share folders and files, no audio bridge etc, I at
least couldn't start jackd when running an Ubuntu Studio session, but
the connection with the host works without issues. Sure, no root access,
but fortunately the advertisings are hidden under the virtual keyboard
and other than for XGimp from the same seller, I didn't experienced ads
that lock the screen for a while, when starting the app. I could click
away the ads immediately. The performance is very good, at least with my
iPad and the current Internet connection.

As you can see, it's the oldest still supported LTS, but it's up to
date.
