Build it on Linux.
You are mistaken. Ubuntu Touch is not any more a layer on android than Plasma is.

They both use libhybris so that they can use already existing android drivers. That's all there is to it, just like in Sailfish.

Personally I think Ubuntu Touch is crap. But it has nothing to do with (due to necessity of) using android drivers.

But thank you for posting these impressions, I look forward for more of your experiences on both systems. I personally haven't tried Plasma.
