For questions about the libertine sandbox in Unity 8, used to run Debian-packaged software in Touch devices

From the Ubuntu Wiki:

Libertine is a confined sandbox where you can install deb-packaged X11-based Ubuntu applications have have them run under Unity 8.

Libertine is available in the Ubuntu archives from Xenial Xerus (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) onwards, and has been backported to the derived version of Vivid Vervet (Ubuntu 15.04) used as a base for the Ubuntu Touch OS.

Libertine is not currently available as a click package because it's a developer preview and not yet ready for general consumption. If you've got the chops to install something on your phone in developer mode, you should be able to handle the instability of a developer-ready Libertine.

The Libertine tools are already installed on convergent devices running Ubuntu Touch, such as Bq's M10 tablet.

The best way to get help is to contact one of the developer in the #ubuntu-libertine channel on Freenode.

I have a Nexus 5 with Ubuntu-touch 16.04. I mistakenly removed the Desktop Apps app. I can't install it again, because the open store says that my phone doesn't support the app. So how can I run Linux GUI apps, with libertine or natively?
