Python on Linux is Python on Linux. Whether you have Ubuntu running on
a tablet or on a desktop, it's going to behave the same. There are
going to be two important things different between running Linux on
your PC and running it on a tablet: the processor and the UI. And
there's really no good way to simulate either one of those.
