  • With Termux on Android, it’s possible to install Debian in a proot environment.

    More about this here: https://github.com/termux/proot-distro

    I guess using this envirinment, it’s possible to set up your server to your needs.

    One thing I don’t know is how to autostart Termux at boot, but there must be a way, “worst-case” a Tasker routine can do it. Also, another thing to considerate with this setup is Android’s memory management and to detect if your proot distro gets killed. But then again, maybe Tasker is good for that, too.

    Good thing with this proot-distro thing is that it’s really easy and straightforward to set up, and basically you have a full Linux environment in your pocket. There are limitations, of course.

    As for installing/flashing full Debian on an Android phone, let’s say it’s not possible. Your closest best bet would be Ubuntu Touch on a supported device.





  • my experience with it was also kind of a rollercoaster, but libreELEC on x64 harware with some basic IGPU was the key for me.

    I tried it on Raspberry Pis (OG and 3) but that surely was painful.

    since using a nornal PC, I really have no issues with compatibility, even the most obscure, sonewhat recently updated plugins work no problem.

    but I can feel you, it needed several chances from me too, but I needed to replace my PS3 (uaing Movian - what an amazing piece of software!) cause it had issues with some recent fullhd files.




  • UnexpectedKeyboard is amazing. Changed to it after BlackBerry keyboard.

    tho there’s absolutely zero dictionary and prediction, the fact it has proper modifier keys like ctrl, alt, function keys alone takes the cake, but you can literally map any character to anywhere, and access even more by swiping on the keys.

    I don’t know how’s the developnent, haven’t checked for updates for a while, because I modified it a bit for my taste.

    It’s kinda on my list to fork it and add autocorrect, dictionary and prediction to it, unfortunately I don’t have much time :/
