Imagine a Linux-like OS for mobile as a reasonable 3rd mobile operating system. People would run it and seem weird like when people run Linux on their laptop nowadays. 1-2% market share. Basically nothing is native to it but a handful of open source apps, but waydroid would be more complete. That would be beautiful.
Shoot. Imagine a reasonably new phone running something Linux with a shell laptop that lets you properly converge. Linux has the best ARM support because basically anything can be complied.
That’s what Samsung tried with Dex. You could even run an honest to god (emulated) Linux on it. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out and no one knows about it today.
10 years ago was the time to start, too.

Just a small community of 33.7k people on reddit.
I stand corrected.
Dex could have been the dream. That wm, it’s soo bad. Then the apps have too much control over their resize and only one instance of an app running.
I could have daily driven it if it was just a little more consistent
Shame that it’s closed source and by Samsung. :/
