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.

Rule of thumb for android users, all of the interesting shit is shit you can't do unless you're rooted.
Me in this thread: revolvingdoor.gif
TLDR: Easy installation of something like Termux, GUI, Kwin and KDE, and a graphical display.
This is really good!
Not really. It seems to use a very different technology from termux.
You could emulate Android on Linux before, now you can also emulate Linux on Android
The circle of libe is compleet
Now the only question is: How deep can you go?
We can also emulate windows on android and WSL obviously on windows.
So we can use Linux to emulate Android, which in turn emulates windows to run WSL
@lemmyreader @cafuneandchill PostmarketOS in chroot in termux in waydroid on PostmarketOS 🤘
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.
I recall using an app way back when I used to root and haxor all the mobiles that would do this. Kind of a virtualbox for the Nexus phones/tablets, but it needed root to do it. Will have to look into this, would be interesting if it can do so in user space somehow.
Edit: Damn, still needs root. Was a longshot to be able to hook into system resources without it but was hoping for some bridge function.
That bridge function would still need root (or critical level security holes) to be installed, if the ROM doesn't ship it.
Makes sense, I'm so accustomed to making virtual machines and such that it becomes just a thing but inevitably at some point admin access was required to create the hypervisor, the vnic, a virtual switch, etc. Without that restriction a piece of malware could readily exfiltrate data past a local protection by just making it's own new pathway through on the fly or any number of other unpleasant things.
Does this mean I could install and run Blender on my phone???
You can try
If someone could build a preconfigured image that has Phosh and basic phone apps, I would consider using this full time.
So I could use this to run PostmarketOS inside Android?
@lemmyreader @electricprism There is someone who managed to convert a
proot-distroversion of #alpine into a #pmos one. It's not as great as it may sound though.
this is the most useful thing android will ever do.
Once rooted.
So basically it's UserLAnd with accelerated graphics instead of VNC.
Actually, no, this seems to work on a very different principle.
*is going to be.
What's the difference to "Linux deploy"?
