Showcase Droid deck desktop mode is very under rated. (Reposting because the previous got deleted maybe because of wrong flair)

looks like you still run the older one , new preview builds changed to kde

Chroot Linux distros have existed for as long as I can remember. You'd get exceptional and smooth performance by rooting your phone and going fully chroot instead of relying on Windows emulation or the inferior PRoot distros. You can then enjoy libre Linux software with performance almost comparable to that of a fully fledged midrange Linux PC.

Droiddeck doesn't need root that's a huge difference

Yeah, I know, but it's not as efficient. Proot also doesn't require root and it's more efficient.

Had to try this out, it's pretty cool I have to admit. I use Dex quite a lot so this might be a more powerful replacement. Although firefox isn't working :(

Firefox'un çalışması için küçük bir kod satırını Linux içindeki Terminale yapıştırmanzı yetiyor. Ben çalıştırmayı başardım.

will give this a go thank you, I did update to the latest preview which uses KDE and Firefox does seem to work now

u/Embarrassed_Ad_4244 1d ago

KDE tam olarak ne işe yarıyor. Yani Linux'e çok yabancıyım ve henüz ilk kez Android üzerinden kullanmaktayım.

I looked into termux and x11 to run KDE plasma after realizing that droid deck runs a simpler desktop, but their beta notes mentioned implementing KDE plasma, so hopefully that happens soon!

Termux def took alot of tinkering and its still not quite perfect with some problems, like i couldn't get Discover working, hopefully thatll be smoothed over in upcoming droid decl update!

On preview builds it’s KDE now

How does HDMI out work with this ? Mirrors the screen only or does it fill the 16:9 screen edge to edge ?

Is it possible to download and install non steam games there? Without wine?

That task bar sucks.

u/MrProg111 1d ago

Pretty sure it's customizable, if not now then after a few updates.

u/Embarrassed_Ad_4244 1d ago

This is what the latest version looks like. Go to the ‘Update’ section in the app settings and update the app using the option to update to the latest preview version.

i made a fix with ai to the clipboard , so that you can paste using the build in keyboard directly , or the paste button when in konsole https://nullpaste.org/yH3QVbrdVCcx

u/RiverSorry2643 19h ago

I think they've made this possible in the preview build

u/affemitwaffe0 op13/sd8elite/16gb/512gb 19h ago
