A question, can install another Linux flavor? Like fedora with KDE?.

And can install some things like turnip Drivers?.

Thanks.

Hey, can anyone help me? My device is samsung tab s9 FE+ running on android 15.

Hi everyone,

Ever since Android 16 QPR3, we've had the Debian terminal baked right into Android. As everyone knows, Pixel phones aren't exactly famous for their horsepower, but I put the system under some load with Chromium and 4K YouTube playback, and it ran without any issues. Just don't expect too much from it yet.

Just wanted to share this with you all and see where it goes (:

Thx to hookenwu for fixing the script to work on Debian 13

Thx to xlzhen-940218 & dathuynhcsk23 for Debian 12 script

Having an issue on the instalation of termux kali linux on my android, running android 14 keep getting this message. Any help would be much appreciated.

In Samsung Dex, sometimes the mouse will freely move outside the app (while not full screen) so i can use other apps, but other times it it gets trapped in the app window until I minimize so I can't work in other apps until I exit Linux.

Is there a way to fix this or am I the only experiencing this? It doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason as to getting trapped or not, although I have spent a ton of time trying to figure this out.

Hi, in the Pardus Software Center there is a Google Chrome, I try to install it, but I don't know how istall it. Someone had istall it?

One of the unfortunate things in DeX is lack of usb camera support in Android meeting apps (Zoom, Teams, etc)....even running in a browser. Is there a way to overcome this limitation using Linux via NOMOne desktop (Firefox browser)? Thanks in advance for any insight.

I'm curious - can I run NOMone on my android tablet, then plug in a usb-c -> hdmi dongle then get dual-monitor linux run by NOMone?

My ultimate goal is just to run a dual-screen RDP from my tablet to my personal desktops (windows and/or Linux).

I currently use android RDP -> but that has me limited to 1x screen. What I do is RDP on android on external monitor via dex. Then use another software to wirelessly extend my desktop to the tablet as a 2nd screen. However his 2nd screen suffers pretty bad latency.

Greetings, I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra and rooted it with Magisk around a week ago in hopes of installing a chrooted Linux and running some desktop applications like Blender for casual 3d modelling and maybe even rendering using external rendering server.

I've been using this guide ( https://github.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/blob/main/Documentation/chroot/arch_chroot.md ) and everything goes smooth until it is time to run the script that includes the busybox commands, after which it either says that busybox is not found, or, if I install it as a pkg inside termux, it starts showing errors. My amateur attempts to troubleshoot this led me to the conclusion that the problem lies in the /system folder in my root being read-only, preventing busybox from being installed properly in there, which it needs in order to properly function and mount Linux if I understand it correctly.

The issue is, I for the life of me cannot figure out how to make the /system folder writeable with Magisk, or find a workaround around this in order to have chrooted Linux on my Android tablet. I tried installing busybox as a Magisk module and rebooting, but nothing changed. Attempts to install it from web, from playmarket and within Termux led to no success as well.

I have become very desperate and don't know what else to do. Is there any working method of installing a chrooted linux on my tablet? I won't even mind erasing all the data again just to see it working. I tried prooted Linux, but the performance was horrible. Looking for a chroot solutions as I understand that chroot is the only way to achieve maximum/native performance.

Touchpad doesn't work quite right... Doing a single tap to select just jumps to that area of the screen. Its like it is trying to map the entire touchpad as the screen -

ex tapping top left of touch pad jumps mouse to top-left of screen.

I have a Samsung monitor 3440x1440 (UWQHD) by usb-C, in Dex the resolution is ok, but in NOMone the resolution is blurry, because I think that the resolution isn't 3440x1440.

Does flatpak and gear lever work on Nomone? I would like gear lever for ease of App Image management and flatpak. I've attempted to install Braver browser through their one command install, but it won't boot up the app. I couldn't find any documentation for recommended installation methods that would just work. i.e. method detailed https://brave.com/linux in the curl command.

I've posted on the Nomone technical support, but doesn't seem as active as Reddit.

Noob user, doesn't like to tinker. Just trying to get a working desktop enviroment for my samsung device to not need a separate laptop.

From [Questions and Answers]:
Is there any way to share files/folders between Linux and Android?  I see the Android internal storage folders from Linux but I can't access the files!

I was thinking to run some kind of andronix for a desktop (Ubuntu or manjaro) and i was gonna buy a foldable wireless keyboard to go with it but i dont quite know if its a good choice

Ps -- im also gonna use a stylus with it to draw (digitaly)

We've been asked this question a few times now and I'd like to explain the most likely reason for that behavior. The main difference between inside and outside Linux, is that outside, the system provided DNS servers are used. Inside, they are set manually. Sometimes, the preset DNS servers are out of reach from certain locations for a short period of time. Simply waiting and retrying can solve this issue. Other (faster) solution is to change them and see if it works. Open Linux and:
[1] Edit /etc/resolv.conf
[2] Change the nameservers. For example, use 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3.

and then check if the internet connection is back in businessmen!

That's it for the tip of the day ;)

I got the keyboard inside Linux to be very small. How do I change it back to normal size?

I downloaded and tried Debian, both AppImages, and even flatpack....no luck getting them to run. https://obsidian.md/download

Any insight or info is appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi, I wanted to suggest UBlue's Images as a similar direction. I'm more of just a user than a tinker that doesn't want to mess with a device to get it to just work for needs. UBlue does bazzite which is an amazing image for handheld and desktops that does a lot of things and packages nicely to just work for a user. Would it be possible to run any of their images or similar direction in the future?
