testman@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge?English10·3 months agoYUNOHost iso is basically just Debian, but the one-click-install for various self-hosted things is it’s primary purpose. All done through web interface.
testman@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is this video a legitimate way to get Linux on LineageOS via Termux or is there a better recent method?1·3 months agoIt does work, I have been using it for a long time now in context of my interest of using a phone as a PC.
https://xdaforums.com/t/phone-as-a-pc.4633441/Thing is that with just termux, you get just the android/termux environment.
There is a way to get more familiar Linux environments running on your phone by using proot from within termux.
https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot
For example, using that you can install ARM version of Manjaro, which is basically the same thing that you would run on Raspberry Pi.
But everything in there runs a bit slower, because Proot is some layer that takes up a bit of performance.
Benefit of that is that you can run some Linux software that is not found within Termux packages, but is available in the repositories of other distros. Libreoffice is one such example.
testman@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is this video a legitimate way to get Linux on LineageOS via Termux or is there a better recent method?2·3 months agoLineageOS 22.2 (on FP4) does not seem to have that option yet.
At least, it is not listed in the developer options.
You can find it if you tap on the search button within developer options (or just general settings, as that also includes results from developer options) and type “terminal” or “linux”.
The(Experimental) Run Linux terminal on Android
result shows up.
But after you tap on that, you see that toggle is greyed out. Can’t be enabled.I am interested in getting that to work, so any help is appreciated.
There is hopefully some ADB command or something that forcefully enables Linux environment.

heh, then YOU could run Linux
which reminds me of this sketch from LoadingReadyRun where Linux gets installed on everything, even a person:

StackOverflow says that it can be done by editing xrdp.ini:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/133343/how-do-i-set-up-xrdp-session-that-reuses-an-existing-session#360835Is there a specific reason for choosing RDP?
VNC is the most common protocol in Linux. And RustDesk is also a good, more advanced alternative.

in the following order:
While others already pointed out the similarity to persistent LiveUSB, I would argue that this also feels a bit like Android desktop modes, like Samsung Dex.
yes, valid point, thank you for the correction
As jet points out, QEMU for actual hardware virtualisation.
There is one relevant thing, which is not exactly in the same category, but does somewhat similar thing:
containers
most popular example being Docker
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Containerization_(computing)
containers don’t emulate whole hardware stack like virtual machines do, they just run the guest OS on top of host OS.
so because they don’t put resources towards emulating hardware, they are much more resource efficient.
so if your problem is “I’m running Fedora but I want to run something that for some reason runs just on Ubuntu”, then you could use containers for that.
containers are mostly used in headless environments (as in servers, no GUI), so running and displaying desktop Linux inside them is a bit tricky, but it can be done.

https://osgameclones.com/ is the best aggregate for this kind of thing.
https://libregamewiki.org/ also looks like something relevant.
Maybe now that we have a messy thread of various links, we can go check whether some of them are not yet listed in osgameclones.
