I think it could be possible to install gentoo on a smartphone <:thvnk:332928260004642827>

2018-05-03 17:20:15 UTC  

You can run Linux distro on smartphone

2018-05-03 17:20:16 UTC  

It's really difficult to get banned here as long as you don't behave like a complete degenrate @pyril

2018-05-03 17:20:23 UTC  

Only if you somehow find out to make it work with a touchscreen

2018-05-03 17:20:31 UTC  

Or speak dutch

2018-05-03 17:20:31 UTC  

Yes there are a lot of chroot based approached to run a "real" distro on Android

2018-05-03 17:20:32 UTC  

USB OTG mouse tho?

2018-05-03 17:20:40 UTC  

Yes mouse works

2018-05-03 17:20:47 UTC  

Also display over VNC

2018-05-03 17:20:51 UTC  

Oh yeah

2018-05-03 17:20:59 UTC  

I was about to point out that this would be shit due to phone small screen

2018-05-03 17:21:11 UTC  

You can use a wireless display

2018-05-03 17:21:12 UTC  

Get a 7 inch phone

2018-05-03 17:21:19 UTC  

But then if you're about to VNC

2018-05-03 17:21:22 UTC  

What's the point of it?

2018-05-03 17:21:38 UTC  

Since VNC needs another PC-esque device right

2018-05-03 17:21:45 UTC  

So only thing I know would be if you really can't run VM

2018-05-03 17:21:55 UTC  

So you do the Linux on android and then VNC from your PC

2018-05-03 17:22:04 UTC  

No your phone is the VNC server AND client

2018-05-03 17:22:09 UTC  

it really works well

2018-05-03 17:22:28 UTC  

Somehow Windows arm keeps popping up in my head

2018-05-03 17:22:30 UTC  

I can understand VNC client part of it

2018-05-03 17:22:32 UTC  

But VNC server?

2018-05-03 17:22:35 UTC  

For what purpose

2018-05-03 17:22:48 UTC  

Well you somehow need to render your chroot environment's WM/DE on your phone screen

2018-05-03 17:23:06 UTC  

Basically with a chroot approach, you run your distro on top of Android

2018-05-03 17:23:27 UTC  

Wonder how's ARM performance

2018-05-03 17:23:33 UTC  

Imagine doing that and using wine for old games

2018-05-03 17:24:08 UTC  

I still am hyped for Windows x86 to arm emulation for mobile

2018-05-03 17:24:16 UTC  

But yeah I'm still unsure why would you need to ever connect to Linux/Android

2018-05-03 17:24:29 UTC  

that exists since long, you can easily boot Win98 on most Android phones

2018-05-03 17:24:34 UTC  

With qemu

2018-05-03 17:24:46 UTC  

Windows 10 🤔

2018-05-03 17:25:03 UTC  

I bet modern phones would be able to

2018-05-03 17:25:04 UTC  

wait what

2018-05-03 17:25:08 UTC  

qemu for android?

2018-05-03 17:25:12 UTC  

Yes

2018-05-03 17:25:19 UTC  

There is both bochs and qemu for Android

2018-05-03 17:25:58 UTC  

Thing hp laptop thing https://youtu.be/Ri3g2dFOPtg

2018-05-03 17:26:01 UTC  

Oh yeah how's qemu compared to VBox or VMware?
