i tried that and there is a giant issue with it

arm cpus cannot run x86 code worth a damn

Oh shit

would rather just keep it running android and screencast it

Yeah forgot about that

Alright thanks for the advice

you can actually wifi scrcpy

remember you can still VNC into your own android device to run linux

wifi debugging

I kinda hate VNC

That's fair

No audio support

ubuntu touch died from that cpu code issue as well, strange that they are taking another crack at it

All I remember of Ubuntu Touch was bugs and crashes

@Panzers und Pasta i have two shields one with the bad battery that i nnever sent back and the replacement one nvida sent me

I think we are a bit overdue for a dockable phone with a full OS

or at least drop a tiny ssd in my phone so I can boot from it

we at least have phones with hdmi out and almost all phones have screen casting now

and can bluetooth input devices to it

that was part of why I got an old xt897. Built in keyboard, support for a mouse and built in hdmi slot (mini to normal)

there are phones with hdmi out?

yep

I have honestly never seen one

mini hdmi connector on the phone

micro hdmi

the nvidia shield has a mini hdmi and that shit is too thick for a phone

they also have hdmi micro https://www.sfcable.com/micro-hdmi-cable-14440.html

and all devices can screen cast of course

if you have a monitor that can recieve it, such as a hooked up chromecast

I don't really use phones much

calls, sms, whatsapp and maps

that's all the use I get out of my phone

I have a monitor monted onto my wall that I have a chromecast in that I get a lot of use out of

load a video on phone, send to the monitor

but that was before sony fucked up remote play and made it exclusive to their phones. I have no idea how to get it back onto non sony phones

at least steamlink still works

sony makes phones?

lol

oh yeah the xperia
