• Linux Distributions State of Gaming - Presentation just done at the FOSDEM 2023

  Toybox, Clang/LLVM, Musl, is an obvious distro core made up of permissively-licensed components. (Busybox, as used in many distros like Alpine, is GPLv2.). Source: about 1 year ago

• Toybox: All-in-one Linux command line

  > Toybox's main goal is to make Android self-hosting by improving Android's command line utilities so it can build an installable Android Open Source Project image entirely from source under a stock Android system. -- http://landley.net/toybox/about.html. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Toybox: All-in-one Linux command line

  README doesn't explain what it is beyond "all-in-one Linux command line". Here's the about page: http://landley.net/toybox/about.html (including comparison to busybox). And here's the list of commands currently supported: http://landley.net/toybox/status.html. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• What was the point of [ “x$var” = “xval” ]?

  For #1, you can just put #!/bin/bash at the top of the file to use Bash. Bash is still available, it’s just not the default for scripts that specify #!/bin/sh. #2 is still currently tricky, but Rob Landley (former Busybox maintainer) is working on a full bug-for-bug compatible Bash clone called toysh which will be included in an upcoming release of Toybox[1].

• T95 Android TV (Allwinner H616) includes malware right out-of-the-box

  Your question is invalid (and my point proven, sadly) unless you know how to run Linux Deploy on a Chromecast. You were too busy trying to be the smartest guy in the room before thinking to ask what I was actually doing with this thing in the first place. Source: over 1 year ago

• Has anyone got pihole working?

  Yes; I use Linux Deploy on most of my rooted Android devices to set up a chroot environment easily (it's kinda old though, so there may be much better alternatives). I used my old Amazon Fire as a Pi-hole that way. Source: over 1 year ago

• Pi-hole for Android APK • Installer for any rooted Android 5.0+ device

  I published a fork of Linux Deploy that automatically installs Pi-hole and Unbound, configures SSH/RDP access, and optionally installs Raspbian PIXEL Desktop to any rooted Android 5.0+ device. Source: over 1 year ago

• Having one hell of a time compiling gpsd in termux, any help is welcome

  I use LinuxDeploy to stage my chroots, simple and easy (also available on Play and F-Droid) on rooted. I even have a mobile/handheld software defined radio (or as I like to refer to it as, a 1st gen, poor persons TriCorder). Can't do this in Termux or a proot, but in a chroot and easy as eating cake.

• Need help for a task, $500 reward!

  I haven't used android in a year or two, but I believe you can install a chrooted linux on an android phone through an app. Things like LinuxDeploy: https://github.com/meefik/linuxdeploy. Source: almost 2 years ago
