Much more interesting in my opinion is another part of this same project - Windows 11 for the Surface Duo[0], which, given the much newer SoC, actually provides a somewhat usable Windows experience that can actually run x86/64 software at a serviceable speed. I bought a Duo on the cheap specifically to do this with it, and I've actually found it convenient to have a true pocket Windows PC on hand every now and then. A lot of stuff doesn't work (camera, built-in speakers, charging in Windows), but they're working on it, and a bunch more does work (Bluetooth, WiFi, autorotation, 4g). Here's[1] a full list of what works and what doesn't. They're also working on the Duo 2, but compatibility with that one is way rougher right now.

- Lammy 3y agoI love my Duo 2 (after doing a ton of ADB `pm disable-user com.[microsoft|google].shitware` lol) and will definitely try this out once it's better supported.

- DANmode 3y agoAny resources or communities weighing in on whether this is sufficient?
- Lammy 3y agoDo you mean sufficient to truly disable unwanted applications? As far as I know `pm disable-user` is as good as using the "Disable" butan in the app manager GUI, except `pm` works for some packages where the GUI option is greyed-out: https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/ https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-... For reference here's the complete list of packages that came with Duo 2 Android 12: https://0.0g.gg/?451bfe451bb52c82#EVYRvWSafM4ZYWjPCwbRSZrKrjxLEJH1mLJYw4u1uDJM https://0.0g.gg/?451bfe451bb52c82#EVYRvWSafM4ZYWjPCwbRSZrKrj... And here are the ones I prefer to disable (and why): https://0.0g.gg/?4ebb0a61fba4c21c#7MJMeqjwoDCbsw2SsXKiumJjN6TkSiUPunjNZK9rLkah https://0.0g.gg/?4ebb0a61fba4c21c#7MJMeqjwoDCbsw2SsXKiumJjN6... I get most of my apps from F-Droid, and I use Aurora Store or just temporarily re-enable the two Google Play packages to install/update apps from there. Here's what I was left with after disabling all the trash, after installing one (1) Play Store app, but before installing everything else from F-Droid: https://i.imgur.com/yHIrm3u.png https://i.imgur.com/yHIrm3u.png
- dengolius 3y agoSaw this[1] interesting post yesterday. And now I'm thinking about to buy my friend's old Lumia phone. [1]https://virtuallyfun.com/2023/07/01/64bit-computing-on-a-budget/ https://virtuallyfun.com/2023/07/01/64bit-computing-on-a-bud...
