  Yes, it can run all of the standard desktop apps. The video talks about adding a keyboard and mouse and using it like a desktop.

(I would guess it will, or at least it will if GTK and Qt add support for whatever windowing system this uses.)

    "The video talks about adding a keyboard and mouse and using it like a desktop" A mouse and a keyboard doesn't mean it can run anything. I can use a mouse and keyboard with Android currently and it still won't support my development environments. Heck Android doesn't even fully support its own development environment.
