https://open-store.io/ is the Ubuntu Touch specific app store. If the model supports Waydroid, you can also install Android apps with some caveats.
You basically can't install normal Linux apps on Ubuntu Touch.
Thank you
You should be able to run other desktop apps too, through libertine. Though, to be fair, my only time testing it was on a pinetab 1 and it was a feature not yet fully working at that time. I cannot confirm how well it works now

That was why I added "basically". Yes, theoretically that option exists, but practically you can't realistically run anything in a usable way with that.
