Whats even cooler is that you can set up x11 and a vnc server so that you can get a full linux desktop too

I tried use vim on my work machine, but I was able to get it to run the way I wanted it to. And now I watching your video, and you run vim on phone. My hand is out of my ass.

And here I am sitting and cannot run our company angular project on my m1 macbook air 8gb

[@azreow]

When I first switched to Android, I got a galaxy phone and one of the first things I did was try to get a dev environment with DEX. Pair that with something like Dex on a xreal glasses and a small bluetooth keyboard and mouse and you can do so many freaking things from a cell phone.

Great but not all applications are available for termux. Also there isn't any vscode for termux ig

[@methuselahmark7818]

Nice video Joshua can you do a full tutorial on it please. A detailed tutorial for beginners I am really begging please

[@jorgeromero4680]

instead of setting up an entire dev environment on your phone, you can access your main computer remotely using a vpn service like tailscale. Personally i can remotely turn on my pc using wol and work remotely from phone/tablet whatever.

[@JoshuaMorony]

Nice, I haven't considered this approach - although I'm sure the "on phone" approach would have its limitations it does feel simpler to me, plus for my specific purposes has the added benefit of not requiring an Internet connection

@@JoshuaMorony i have try something similar on the phone and is like you are saying. no having internet is the problem. because of that i decided to not work when im off XD

I'm not going to use ghosty tiling because I refuse to lock myself into a single terminal emulator for session management. No matter how nice ghostly is (I personally don't see the value) it's not worth lock in.

Next part.. how to transfer family to phone 😅

[@treint6751]

Hey, I have a little question. Do you think getting a tablet instead of a laptop is a good idea? I thought of trying to run qt creator or something (we used it at school) for c++ coding. I have a powerful desktop pc, so I presumed that getting a laptop might be a bit excessive.

[@4115steve]

is this for android only?

[@JoshuaMorony]

Termux is, I don't know if there is a similar approach for iOS

[@JefCollier]

I've done something very similar for my Pixel, but I'll be honest, I can't write code with my mobile overlay. I settled for using my tablet with a small folding travel keyboard, and then I use my phone's wifi while I'm out in the middle of no where. I've been into NeoVim for a few years now and I suffer when I don't have access to a physical keyboard. --Not to mention that the screen size on my tablet makes this a bit more of a functional environment. Regardless, I've still configured all of this on my phone, including tmux just because I can. I've also setup sshd and keys for all my local systems so I can basically just jump around to a handful of mobile devices on my LAN and test weird edge cases.

[@JoshuaMorony]

I'm going to try my best at making the soft keyboard work, I'm not really looking to do "proper" work and don't mind taking an efficiency hit, but yeah I think I'll also end up experimenting with a proper keyboard as well

[@jamesbarrow]

​​@@JoshuaMorony I once cracked my phone screen breaking the touch sensor, but needed to backup stuff from it, and so needed to access the menu to switch the data sharing mode but couldn't. Found out then about being able to use an On The Go (OTG) cable to plug a mouse into my phone. So I wonder about a keyboard and mouse :P

I thought this was going to be about coding while fighting giant spiders... slightly disappointed...

[@JoshuaMorony]

I had rat run up me the last time I was chilling at camp in the dark if that counts. I think it was a rat anyway, whatever it was it had a tail and it was coming for my face.
