What’s the point into doing it?
At the minimum, to show that Android is not a locked down walled-garden of a system and you’re free to choose what you can do with it to the point you can install a different OS on it?
I believe it’s more a problem about SoC manufacturers than a problem of android by itself.
Android is an os.
Nobody said it wasn’t.
He probably meant to say Open Source operating system.
You can already just install UbuntuTouch
Something like samsung Dex on regular android?
oh, if that means i can use native linux apps on there like on regular chromeos, that would be so cool
Yeah that’d be a fun 8 months until they kill it
Look into termux, proot, proot-distro and termux-x11
You have more limited performance in proot but it can run some basic programms
Cool, but why? Doesn’t really makes sense to run a desktop os in a vm on a touch device that doesn’t even support external screens via USB C
Hmm, but the new pixel 8 series do support display output over USB type-C after the March update.
Finally, it only took them 8 years to reach feature parity with Samsung
