Yo dawg, I heard you like Linux. So I built a Linux container for your Linux phone. Now you can enjoy Linux while enjoying your Linux phone.
You need a phone, tablet, or other device that’s been rooted.
Damit
Rule of thumb for android users, all of the interesting shit is shit you can’t do unless you’re rooted.
I remember when it used to be all the REALLY interesting stuff was root only, yet a lot of normal interesting stuff was non-root. Now even with root, modern Android can be a pain and the interesting stuff just pales in comparison with true Linux
yeah, linux has me spoiled, just being able to do whatever i want as i please is truly a modern art.
Android made me realize how incredible linux was by being so utterly painful.
look into proot+termux-x11 if you don’t have a rooted device, it’s still very good.
It’s just quite a bit slower. Everything else other than messing with /sys and android processes works the same.
HDMI, mouse and keyboard and you have an office pc.
Yup, I used it all the time with samsung dex, works great

You could emulate Android on Linux before, now you can also emulate Linux on Android
The circle of libe is compleet
well it’s not really emulation, if you are familiar with LXC it’s that, it’s pretty much a super chroot
Technically true, but it’s easier to refer to it as emulation
It’s also quite wrong.
Oh I like that one. Yoink! Thanks.
I have been running arm32 elf binaries and Xorg on my HTC M8 stock kernel with Android 4. That’s not a new thing. Libreoffice and Xfce ran pretty well on that thing.
this is the most useful thing android will ever do.
Once rooted.
So I could use this to run PostmarketOS inside Android?
Yes.
Run hanna montana linux like a chad
Does this mean I could install and run Blender on my phone???
you can already try that with chroot/proot, this just gives far better integration for input handling and stuff
*is going to be.
