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.

    As long as you have like, +3gb of RAM you should be fine with something like andronix or userland. It has a few limitations, but for emergencies is quite nice.

    The problem with most devices is the lack of HDMI thru USB-C, as most use USB C v2.0 and you need 3.1 for that to work, which is why I went with a Samsung flagship, dex is nice too.

    If you have that, you can just stick it on a dock or hub and now you can use a monitor, keyboard/mouse easily.
