ElectronJS is cross-platform framework to create desktop apps for Mac, Windows and Linux.
But if I make an app using responsive web design for mobile views, will the distribution for Linux work for Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS, Mobian, and many other Linux mobile touch operating systems?
In Sailfish OS it would not work, because no Electron in SailfishOS, if you want, you can try build it by your self (Electron should support Wayland platform, but in SailfishOS we have old Waland protocol version, in Ubuntu Touch, on Mir, it has more chance to make electorn work, dont know about mobian nothing)

Question: Is there any way to provide a terminal connection with a canvas to a Flutter app being hosted on a non-gui Linux server?
Context: We have a lot of character-based tools running on (CentOS) Linux server. It would be great to write them (or a wrapper around them) as GUI apps using Flutter. I don't need full window management, just things like GUI components, mouse text selection, cut-n-paste, drag-n-drop, SDI design UI.
Is there any way to accomplish that without installing desktop software on the server? I know there's a Raspberry Pi setup for flutter apps on Linux WITHOUT installing desktop. Would anything like that work?
I'm trying to use NativeScript + Angular + SQLite to create a mobile application and following this video. At 3:00, it says to run the command tns platform add ios in the folder and I get the error "Applications for platform iso can not be built on this OS." The OS that I'm running is Windows 10 Home. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You can not build apps for iOS using Windows OS, it's not limitation from NativeScript but from Apple itself. You need Xcode to build apps for iOS which can only be installed on Mac OS.
If you have an iOS device with you, you may use Playground or Preview to run your code directly on your device from a Windows machine. The CLI / Sidekick even support cloud builds.
If you like to use Simulators, the only option is to install Mac OS using Virtual Box but that may be terribly slow.
I have created Desktop application using node webkit for Windows and Mac is it possible to create for chromebook/chrome os.
For Chrome os we can built extensions.

I'm planning to develop an app for Android using Qt Quick Controls and an Android Emulator. The same set of components is said to work on Windows Phone. Thus I'd like to build the app for Windows Phone as well.
Unfortunately, Qt for Windows Phone is only available for Windows.
I don't own any Windows phone. I'm using a computer running Linux.
Is it possible to build the app for Windows Phone and test it in an Emulator without virtualizing/dual-booting Windows
Well there is Wine. This is what wikipedia says about it;
Wine (short for Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a free and open source compatibility layer software application that aims to allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems. Wine also provides a software library, known as Winelib, against which developers can compile Windows applications to help port them to Unix-like systems.
You can find more info about Wine here; https://www.winehq.org/
I haven't tried it before but since it says "allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems," I'm thinking it should work.
This is your only option. If it doesn't work, then i guess you should think about running windows on virtual machine or dual booting with windows. Good luck!
I was developing Windows Mobile applications on a Windows machine using C#, just to test the platform, but now I'm back to Linux and now developing for Windows CE on it(CeGCC and FPC), but it's very boring to compile and send the executable to the device everytime just to do a simple test, then I want to know where can I find a good emulator for Linux to debug my projects.
Qemu is really nice and its open source. You can also attach a debugger to Qemu to debug operating systems, comes in handy if you are writing device drivers. Using QEMU you can emulate other processor types such as ARM. personally I use VMWare workstation unless i need to emulate another processor type.
Unfortunately, your only bet is trying to run Microsoft's own emulator under Wine. This is the only ARM emulator you will find Windows Mobile images for. Search the web, some people had success with this approach - though the installation is tricky. Oh, and you won't get network working in the emulator, as this requires a special Windows device driver (which obviously won't work under Wine).
For this last reason, you may want to make a full desktop Windows (or possibly ReactOS) installation inside qemu, and install the PDA emulator inside the PC emulator.
And think how cool it would be to play Super Mario Bros inside a NES emulator inside a PDA emulator inside a PC emulator! :)))))
