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.

    I’ve seen a few mobile focused Linux distros, can you still run android apps on them easily?

      Not sure, but I think there is already ways to run android apps on a Linux desktop, the thing I’m talking about is basically running a Linux container on Android and connecting in it thru VNC.

        Ah I see that seems like a more sensible way to do it as long as it can run smoothly virtualised

          It runs pretty well with XFCE on my old Helio P60 phone, very smooth. So it’s not that heavy to run, for light usage at least.
