Qualcomm claims that my Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus’ Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU is faster than the Intel Core Ultra 288V chip. My smartphone also has 12GB of RAM and 512GB of solid-state storage. In short, it’s more powerful than most of my laptops. So why not use it as a laptop?
Why not, indeed, says Google, which has introduced – at long last – a native Linux Terminal application in its March 2025 Pixel Feature Drop.
Samsung’s DEX had a downloadable Linux VM running nearly a decade ago.
And they killed it right?
Never even got to a production release. ☹️
I wish there was a way to side load it. Honestly Samsung really has let too many things slide. Ilafter this s23ultra does I’m not getting another Samsung
I got a second hand note10+ just for that feature, only to find out they deprecated Linux on DeX D:
Motorola had something similar too. Forgot the phone model, but it ran a modified version of ubuntu when you put it in a dock.
Wasn’t it just running Android in desktop mode?
