Is Samsung Dex able to boot/load to a standard Linux environment? Initial look at it seems interesting, but I've never really heard/seen much about it.

- peterleiser 3y agoI've used Dex on my Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the apps are Android apps. If you want linux on Android you can try this suggestion (termux + ubuntu-on-android + vnc server): https://www.reddit.com/r/SamsungDex/comments/opyj6o/linux_on_dex_is_still_available_now/ https://www.reddit.com/r/SamsungDex/comments/opyj6o/linux_on...

- arendtio 3y agoIt depends on what a standard Linux environment is and what you will need it for. I mean Android is some kind of Linux and with Termux you can get it a bit more Debian-like from a terminal perspective. But I haven't seen anybody start a KDE or Gnome with it. My biggest issue with Dex is that it can manage only one large display. So if you have two, they are just being cloned. Otherwise, I like to use it sometimes when I don't want to start my PC.
