    One of the big questions that comes to mind is, why do I need Android to run Linux stuff?

      Firefox desktop on an Android convertible tablet.

      Edit: I realize there’s no context here. Android tablets have great displays and battery life. Being able to run desktop apps, like Firefox, Codium, GIMP, etc, is a great way to have a low-power ARM laptop, while easily being able to switch to landscape mobile apps for say, reading magazines or Lemmy, etc.

      Basically great “single devices”, especially for travel.

        Why can’t I run firefox on my home server and just project the window as a video stream to my phone, like moonlight except for just the app, not the whole damn desktop !
