I may be one of the few people who has actually used a phone + laptop dock as my personal computer for over a year (Librem 5 + Nexdock). So how feasible is Nex's proposal here?

It really depends on what you use your personal laptop for. If the use cases are similar to a phone (web browsing, email, social media, media consumption, basic office utilities) then it's surprisingly feasible. Obviously it's less feasible for heavy development or gaming.

Not An April Fool's Joke, You Can Run Linux and Windows on This Android Smartphone

This $549 rugged smartphone runs Android 16, launches Debian Linux as an app, and dual-boots Windows 11.

It's FOSS

@Bluegrass_Addict @bruhbeans Agreed. Doesn't Android 16 already have the ability to "run Linux as an app?" Even on Android 15 and earlier people do this using @termux, proot, etc.

The dodgy surveillance OSes, Google Android and #Microslop Windows, get installed on the device, while the trustworthy OS, Debian #GNULinux, gets installed as a constrained and restricted app?

Whatever happened to people's brains?

Today, I discovered Localdesktop. It installs a Linux desktop on your phone based on Arch. I'm installing it now. I think is going to do great with my Nexdock I ordered.
Local Desktop helps you run a desktop Linux environment on your Android device.

I have a NexDock 360 (2-in-1/tent-able model) and its great; but they seem to do a model for a bit and discontinue it. Hopefully they release a new 360 model.

I appreciate the move to a full-size HDMI port; keeping track of the mini HDMI cable has been challenging.

Lilbits: Panther Lake PCs, Dragon Range motherboards, and NexDock’s newest Laptop Dock

CES 2026 is just a few weeks away, and we’re expecting plenty of new PC announcements including models sporting next-gen Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm processors. If I had to make two predictions in advance they’d be: expect a lot of AI talk… and expect higher price tags (because AI hardware’s insatiable demand for RAM is driving up the price of memory for everyone).

One possible solution? Don’t […]

Now that my phone is on #Android13 I decided to give desktop mode another shot on my #NexDock #LapDock

...HOW IS THIS EVEN WORSE?!?!

God Lapdocks are the stupidest thing ever created. Unless you have a stock Samsung, they are useless

been using my #pinephonepro with the #nexdock daily for all my engineering classes for about a month now, and loving it so far! some programs i was pleasantly surprised by include #logisim, #rnote, and #eclipseide. i didn't expect these programs to work well but they are actually so useful and work just as well, if not a bit slower, than on my thinkpad. up next i'll need to install #wine and #ltspice for more circuit design :)
