G+_Brandon Giesing / CosiC Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Jason Howell should try this on his Nexus 5. Plugged into a Monitor with MHL, runs Debian but otherwise uses Lollipop on the device. http://maruos.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Bill Lee Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 This looks pretty cool. A Linux version of Microsoft's Continuum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Brandon Giesing / CosiC Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Ervan Nurdiansah they were probably working on it before marshmallow. And Ubuntu is based on Debian so it's basically the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Gary Volk Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 This is the ultimate dream. One device that can give you it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_mike kershaw Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 They did this with the Droid Bionic back in the 2.x days (fired up a normal xwindows environment). It was hugely constrained by memory at the time and never really took off; it was never quite good enough to be an interesting laptop replacement style device.

G+_Paul Werner Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I know I'm planning on doing this soon. On vacation now and have my N5 in a drawer at work but once I bring it home I'm going to test this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
