moin moin David,

Will jmtpfs be able to connect the Google Nexus 5X to the debian computer?

It should. jmtpfs is working for several Android devices for me. Some are
Nexus with latest OS release, some are old devices with no support from the
carrier and one is a device I don't allow to have network access[0].

if yes: will also the internet connection through the Nexus 5X work?

I believe you don't need jmtpfs to use the USB connection for network
access. I believe you can enable USB tethering on the device since Nexus
should have a recent OS release.

[0] Don't know if it has some sort of phone home, but it doesn't nag me
about updates and I just pretend it's all good :)

ciao,
