Daniel Kochmański@admich that's a very cool and impressive experiment!
Thanks. Of course it is incomplete and full of bugs. And for some bugs all the system freezes, without the possibility to resume, and I need to force the power off of the laptop. Therefore I want to switch the development in a VM with emacs in the host that connects to slynk on the VM.
Ramin Honary@admich this would be an even better software stack than Android, especially if you could get Emacs Lisp applications to run in Common Lisp.
I am also curious how difficult this would be to port to FreeBSD.
@ramin_hal9001 I think that the port to FreeBSD would be easy. As I understand FreeBSD and linux share many user space library. Through cffi I use with the following libs:
- libdrm
- libseat
- libudev
- libinput
- xkbcommon
- epoll
Of these I think that only epooll is linux specific.
The difficult part is to have something complete and solid.
Paul SomeoneElseI use #BSD and hence #kqueue instead of epoll.
But I also use #libevent via ffi (from a couple/few
different langs) and it abstracts over epoll/kqueue
very nicely.
https://libevent.org/
#OpenBSD uses it in some of their daemons
which gives it very good street cred w/unix.
tmux uses it too.

yeah Android is pretty neat if you stick to the FOSS stuff, even if I've never cared for touchscreen-centric computers* and the OS's source code takes up ~100 GB.
Would be even better if someone made a F-Droid frontend that replaces the silly "privacy-respecting home screen"-descriptions with ones that actually mean something.
* my first monitor was a 15 inch 1024x768 touchscreen, but I mostly treated that feature as a novelty
