Linux desktop on your phone...

[vinceASPECT]

Hello forum,

Do any of you enjoy running a native speed desktop Linux on your phones?

From what I am reading, it says even non rooted phones will give near native performance with
Minor overheads to phone cpu ......if you use the free TERMUX app and the method below

It's a good desktop computer experience from even just a $25 new Walmart phone

Setup a swapfile too.....maybe zram of 1 gig.......and for the example given use a proot distro like
It advises at the end there

Many of the other Linux desktop free apps for Android are not as effective as this one

You can easily beam the desktop over to your large screen .......or you can
Use a new 5 bucks VR BOX for a 65 inch desktop..... by sliding your phone into
The box and using a free side by side app to show your phone screen TWICE
In one .....side by side
Use bluetoothe mouse and keyboard


Thx

i kinda stopped using phones for anything productive when they stopped having keyboards (symbian on nokia e72 and BB10 was very usable for ssh'ing into servers).

i manage to slot so much time in front of proper workstations that i desperately need all screen-off time i can get, so i have to say i don't even miss it.

i would never buy a mobile computer without a proper screen+keyboard any more. but i have 3 backup thinkpads which should last a long time anyways
