Great, now rice it up and port all your favorite programs to termux. I wonder if one could use termux instead of a real distro…
Jackson Perez
You can install a normal distro inside termux and use proot, which is kinda like fake chroot. You can also use real chroot if your phone is rooted.

but you can't stop android's display server and replace it with X
Ayden Gonzalez
thats comfy user
mouse moves with fingertouch or u need new drivers for screen?
Jacob Nelson
i'm using avnc which lets me use a single tap on the touch screen to interact with the desktop, makes everything more fluid
Benjamin Mitchell
How is the software rendering doing for ya?
Gabriel Nguyen
indeed
If you need to do something more computationally intensive, just crunch it on a cloud vm and download it.
Carson Gutierrez
it's surprisingly fast, i have a shitty moto g7 power with the native rom installed
desu all i wanted was to use libre software since the android word processor apps suck major ass
Luis Peterson
You can't use termux and other derivatives for most things by default because of SELinux restrictions. /proc utilities are restricted by the kernel and so don't work. net interfaces and cpu state is restricted.
You can run a vm without the restrictions natively or on a termux session if your phone is fast enough. You'll need to setup a virtual NAT with its own tap interface to network vms and route their traffic through the host.

oh I forgot qemu is even in the repo
I swear, if there would be an easy way of running a simple linux distro on the phone with all drivers working I'd write my own touch interface. It would be great if one could connect a monitor and keyboard to the phone and have pocket-sized workstation. Galaxy S3 had usb to hdmi option. I wasted money on the cable because my custom rom didn't have drivers for it, crashed and bootlooped xd

You actually can old older Android versions with SELinux disable. But running Sparkle with XWayland is a better experience.

what's the os called?
Zachary Wilson
But you can implement X as an android application that takes up the whole screen.
Gabriel Allen
do you mean the DE or the distro?
Jordan Nelson
both
Asher Anderson
Me asks too
Henry Lewis
impressive, neofetch please?
I installed the arch linux termux version but i could not install yay, so meh, that was the only reason to do it, what a shame
Samuel Peterson
I can answer the DE, it's XFCE, as for the distro, you can use XFCE on any distro
James Martinez
What are the 'easy' options other than postmarketos?
Jace Collins
op here
i basically have an iq of 0, so i downloaded anlinux and avnc from f-droid and just followed the prompts
