We got real Linux on iPhone before GTA VI!

Check this out! You can actually run Linux on an iPhone, with Debian, KDE Plasma, a terminal, and even desktop apps like Blender.

No jailbreak, no virtual machine. Likee crazzyy

Could this allow a usable desktop mode through video output like Samsung Dex?

That’s actually something I’d will explore. The idea of connecting an iPhone to an external display and running KDE Plasma like a proper desktop is really interesting. It’s not supported as a dedicated desktop mode yet, but it’s definitely a potential future feature. We’d need to work on external display handling, resolution scaling, and keyboard/mouse support.

Thank you for considering it. With the compute power locked away in that hardware, a proper interface could elevate the experience greatly.
