The Linux OS is not stopped with the “vncserver-stop” command. Just the VNC service is stopped within the OS. To properly stop Linux, you need to do a “shutdown -h now” command, or less properly, stop the Termux session aka close the app. Also, VNC viewer android app does not create servers. It is a client that creates connections to servers. VNC can be installed on any Linux machine and the visual session can then be viewed on any machine with a VNC viewer. Overall though, great vid.

This is very useful since most of us can't put linux on DeX, and running a full desktop experience on a phone it's just mind-blowing.

Finally, I can run crisis and tf2 on my phone at 10fps

Amazing video fantastic job . Rocking this setup with tabs6 +dex + keyboard case cover as a cybersecurity engineering student . Even sold my laptop

[TheRandomGuyTheFarNoGameCat]

This with Dex Mode/EMUI is freaking amazing.

Edit: I joined Premium 1 year ago. 100% love Andronix.

This makes your phone really a pocket PC, wow! That‘s great, thanks for sharing dude.

Your channel has become an incredible, invaluable resource for me over the last year+ since I subscribed. I don't have much cash but do have my fairly recent (<2 years old) smartphone and some old laptops/netbooks. Thanks to your videos, I'm not just emulating my old games for fun and relaxation, but I also have working technology that I'm learning to code with and using for my creative endeavors. Thank you, deeply and sincerely.

Works on Lenovo Tab M10 HD, 4GB RAM, 8 core processor. Not smooth, but it runs.
Takes time to get used with moving around a cursor instead of tapping on folder or app.
Thank you for the detailed instructions!

Curious to see how this performs compared to using an Amazon EC2 distro.. have been using RDP to remote into a Linux instance. I would imagine the lag would be significantly lower considering it's running on localhost rather than on a remote machine, although I'm still concerned about using VNC viewer as opposed to having something run natively.

Also it blows my mind that Termux basically can just run Linux flat out.

“Linux on android”
Sounds like linux on linux to me

Have this configured on my Samsung S6 tab works well for some minor dev work with access to some of the basic Linux tools, including a version of Microsoft code(very cool!), however this is NOT a full blown Linux operating system, it's essentially a chroot on steroids ( more accurately called proot) you can only install linux apps that are complied for aarch/arm64 architecture which is limited today(that may change with devices adopting more arm processors) with Linux in dex dead, this is the closest alternative.

[ClickingPixels]

This is indeed a perfect alternative for the now defunct Linux on Dex.

Thank you for providing us with usefull tech-tainment as you always do.

Mabe you could do a short video showing off how it is that you use Linux on your devices so often, show us what we are missing out (:

[mennastudying]

thank youuu thank you so muchhh!!! i also have the tab s6 and ive been trying all day to get linux, u dont know how much u have helped me, thank u man :, )

[Supercon]

This was exactly what I didn't know I needed
I had no idea I could load up Linux onto some of my spare mobile devices
Thank you!

[blueskygal]

Thanks for this tutorial .. i had downloaded andronix onto my basic tablet as it was having a lot of trouble. I could not believe the difference in how it ran. i am going to switch all my technology to linux. tired of bad performance of others. delighted to get this. don't understand it totally but i'll be learning more.

[flashbeaster]

I just managed to install linux on my old oneplus 5t thanks to your tutorial video. I am about to start an old armed assault dedicated server on that distro and have some coop fun with my mates.
I was thinking about Linux alternatives to windows for maybe two years now, but never went through with it - the closest I was is when I have downloaded manjaro plasma to replace win10 on mine 2080rtx laptop but installation from the usb drive didnt work.
Once I have seen this tutorial + the fact you use manjaro as well I immediately knew this is the time I have to commit again to learn new things and dedicate time to make it work. Your tutorial was spot on and everything went exactly as you have instructed, so great job, thank you and I am happy to be another new user of Linux in the community

[CryptoSoljah]

Thankyou liked and subbed I brought the same Manjaro package and everything installed and worked perfectly thank you for a clear video and links provided great stuff 😊👍🏾

[QuandalePringle]

What most of you don't know is that Android is based on linux. Basically, any of you that Watch this video is that you are adding more linux to a Linux-Based mobile operating system that is "created" by Google.

[martinsauer]

Thats why I love android.
Now the upcoming Tab S7 needs to have a larger screen and it truly replaces my Laptop for mobile work.

This is failing for me when I try to open VNC View in Dex. It just gives me an error message that "VNC Viewer can't run in Samsun Dex. It's designed for touch screens." Is there a workaround for that?
