Hi,

We can now run Linux desktop on any rooted Android device.
It is done via two applications.

Here is a clip of VolksPC OS running on ODROID-N2:

And on ODROID-C2:

Every few years, this gets mentioned as if it was the bees knees. It isn't, there's LinuxDeploy and a few others, have been around for a long time.
But I'm not dissing, who knows, maybe VolksPC OS is aware of that legacy and really does do it better.

But again... only two YT videos, no actual links to any software projects ...

Yes, we are aware of all the open source projects. What is unique about our solution is that our graphics is faster than running Linux natively on those platforms.
We show gtkperf performance on the video so that you can do a quick comparison. It is 95% open source and you can find more info at [removed]

That doesn't even make sense.
Which platforms?
If you tested on a platform that can run Linux natively, then I'd run Linux on it of course.
Doesn't hold true for smartphones anyhow.

The link was removed - with good reason apparently. Yawn...
