• Switching to PinePhone for a noob

  It seems it is possible to connect a docking bar to the PinePhone but I cannot find what happens next? Is it possible to show on a screen what is displayed on my phone or is it dual screen or can I choose? I love the concepts behind maruOs but I think the project is dead. Source: about 1 year ago

• Available Today: Windows Dev Kit 2023 a.k.a. Project Volterra

  >> So what exactly are “consumers” clamoring for that are not currently being delivered? Until other choices are available, people tend to accept the default or keep on doing what was done in the past.

  I just found MaruOS. It appears to be exactly what I was looking for. They are a little small apparently. They support only Nexus and Pixel phones and one Samsung's device. Hopefully they'll have a bright future. Source: over 2 years ago

  So someone in this subreddit told me about Maru OS and that really got me dreaming about using my phone as a desktop computer when connected to a monitor. The Astro Slide with its dual boot capabilities and its two USB-C ports would be ideal for that I think. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there a YouTube lite of some sort for low spec computers?

  What about a lighter OS? I put FydeOS on my low powered systems. It's ChromeOS with Android and Linux. It's perfect for a media consumption PC. https://fydeos.io/. Source: about 1 year ago

• fydeOS is awesome!

  I was looking for something like Chrome OS and finally installed fydeOS. Now I can run android apps without android_x86 and feel the super theme given from google. This works great and better performance compared to the brunch framework. Now I can run both Linux and Chrome OS on a single device. I can also use parental controls for my younger sister. Though this has some lack of features but this is really... Source: about 1 year ago

• Has anyone tried to Install FydeOS on a PineTab? How did it go?

  Https://fydeos.io Think of it as an alternative to ChromeOS, so no not Google at all. Source: about 1 year ago

• Just started degoogling. Anyone got some more tips?

  Depending on your hardware there is FydeOS that could also be an option. But keep in mind this isn't as degoogled as other options :). Source: about 1 year ago
