It sounds like you'd be better off with one of the other distros that's more like a normal linux install. UBPorts is intended to be more like a phone OS with a read-only root filesystem that gets rewritten with a new version during OTA updates, and all apps installed via its app store. While you can remount root as read-write and use apt or dpkg to install packages, as I understand it this can cause other things to misbehave.
