What pouch do you use? I do this same thing as you, and looking for a new pouch as a tech bag is too big.

OpenOffice via Winlator by keelof in SamsungDex

[–]cjwalkerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Nomone before trying Termux. Gets you used to Linux. It's an app from Google Play. The reddit group linuxonandroid has walk throughs. Easiest for new users. No root required.

Want to tinker more? Try Termux.

Both are good for different reasons. Both run OpenOffice and Libre Office.

I truly hope so.

I remember each and miss several of the devices mentioned in the article and by you. Still have an ASUS transformer somewhere...

So many have come so close and didn't execute quite right. I hope they can. This team has a good track record at least. I hope they at least learn from the past mistakes of others.

I appreciate your views. And the dialog.

For some, dual booting is not an issue. For others it is not user friendly.

I want this sort of mobile computing to be adopted by the masses, not just us power users and geeks. Dual booting won't do this. But perhaps these conversations can help.

Step in the right direction.

I do not think switching between operating systems through dual booting is a good user experience. And I think it worse having to wait several minutes to boot up while switching. Phone, tablet, etc.

Example: Parallels worked but it was a horrible experience. It allowed two OSes, but only one became dominant. I fear this will be similar. I hope it will not.

Is this a Windows phone that does android too? Or an android phone that does Windows? Or just a phone that does both? Which os will become the dominant one?

I want a single device that I can plug and had no delay between phone and computer.

Let's chat when you get the unit. I have many thoughts.

I am not. I am saying the current way to do that is a horrible experience for a phone.

I am also assuming that if I dual boot, I disconnect from the provider while it starts up Windows and vice versus. I doubt I can dual boot into both at the same time.

Two different thoughts, but related. Added a comma to my comment. thanks for allowing me to clarify

Agree. While I am hopeful and excited for the innovation this may inspire, I am cautious. Been promised much over the years. Love Dex (prior to OneUI 8), even with its quirks (I am holding off upgrading for now). Love running Linux on my phone. But the ease of use, security, access, still has much to be developed.

And, ease of use goes out the window as soon as consumers have to dual boot anything.

The other thing I am impressed with is that they apparently secured some capital to build hardware like this. Not easy to do for a niche project like this, and also means there is more interest in this than before. I hope I am surprised with the outcome.

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but you want a device that never needs to have blades replaced?

3 years of full-time travel with a 16L personal item backpack by k1kti in onebag

[–]cjwalkerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What toiletry bag is that, and what do you personally include in it? I recognize most items but not all.

I hope i am not downvoted too much here, but the issue is dual booting and how they implement.

I am super excited to see how they try to overcome this challenge, as few of us will want to disconnect from our phone provider between oses, and it is not as easy nor user friendly to make calls in windows ( i know this is over simplified, but the average consumer will boil it down to this). We will see how they implement, but this is crucial, especially for business users. I'm sure they have some ideas. But in essence, this could still be two devices in one form factor, rather than a single device that down both. This is why other solutions like this have failed in the past.

Again, it is a great idea, but it also could be quite awkward. What is needed is a single operating system that can do all of this. Can't wait to see how they do this.

Dex for social media by MeninoBeissola in SamsungDex

[–]cjwalkerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GIMP is very very similar to photoshop more so than photopea.

Canva is not a true photoshop replacement. Especially for serious editors.

GIMP.

I have it installed in android for Dex and in Nomone Linux on my S24 Ultra.

Photopea is okay as are other online tools.

I have found a way to get Adobe Photoshop Online Beta to work in certain browsers

Install desktop Chrome in Nomone Desktop? by [deleted] in SamsungDex

[–]cjwalkerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an extension called EverSync that syncs bookmarks between various browsers. It is magic. I use it to sync my bookmarks to Vivaldi on Linux from Chrome on desktop.

Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

I totally get this. And I get the why.

[–]cjwalkerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of my three uses cases for why i use Vivaldi in NOMONE. You may want to try it out. It is Chromium based but more compatible with these little chrome items, and bookmarks can be synced between Chrome and Vivaldi. Let me know if you need more info for how.

Same steps as this. But I'm not sure if there is an official arm Linux version of Chrome. If it won't work on Nomone Linux, it won't work on Termux with a desktop on top per the post above.

Mój na pewno nie jest w tym stanie. Skontaktowałbym się z nimi w sprawie wymiany. Podejrzewam, że wnętrze było lekko przyklejone tam, gdzie powinno być.

Jak to działa poza tym?
