Note that mostly this is not a xetex question as you are using the syntax of the fontspec macro package rather than the xetex primitive font loading syntax (although of course these are not unrelated) it might be more portable to use the opentype cm Unicode distributed with tex than the ttf ones that you are pulling from /usr/share/fonts eg I have /usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/cm-unicode/cmunrm.otf I don't have them as .ttf as far as I can see in tl2016 or tl2017.
