I'll just stick to my laptop, since it's much more powerful than the mobile version (which, doesn't even bring Burp Suite, and that's the main reason I want the GUI on my tab).

Like excalidraw in obsidian or something? That would really solidify my desire to get an OLED water resistant tablet for linux

[@techstation365]

This is Linux emulation. Linux is not running natively on the chip. There is no hardware acceleration. This is useful for txt type of work, not recommended for art. Plus your mileage may vary. Not all libraries may work on ARM. Get a laptop instead for real work, I personally hate expensive tablets, they are nothing but luxury sidekicks (both Android and iPadOS). These are not mainstream features, so companies don't work on it. What I showed is a demonstration of what's possible and how one can take advantage of it. I'm not saying to buy a high end tablet to replace a laptop.

[@ProjectileGrommet]

@@techstation365 thank you for that. I definitely got entranced by the idea of waterproof OLED drawing on the same device I could code on but yeah I agree it’s better just to use my linux laptop to program and keep my drawing and recreational tablet stuff separate.

thumbs down. You're being totally misleading with the title of this video. Termux is not the same as Linux. This is more like an Android distro with recompiled Linux apps.

There are lots of differences. But "all programs must be patched and recompiled to meet requirements of the Termux environment" ??? I installed everything(all shown in this video) like anyone on any desktop Linux distro would. Yes things like SYSTEMD doesn't work in proot environment, so no snap store in Ubuntu. For that we need to root and use chroot env. Anyways I'm not a Linux GURU.
