Anyone experimenting with Linux on Android around here?

I was having quite a hard time finding a decent IDE to use on DeX so Im just running a full desktop and coding on vscode. The performance is surprisingly good, just wish it was easier and more stable to set up gnome, as it just looks like it would fit a touchscreen and the android aesthetic really well.

    There needs to be a hypervisor to manage them though doesn’t there? As far as I’m aware that’s how type 1 hypervisors work but that’s still a VM at the end of the day.

    Either way I’m absolutely doing this. Does Linux deploy allow you to switch between Linux and Android UI freely or is Linux running in the background and need spice/vnc?

      I don’t think it counts as a hypervisor because it’s basically running multiple user land environments on the same kernel. But yes, the video output is already used by android so if you need graphics it goes through vnc. Maybe that’s possible to bypass on a routed device.
