and even then, for me at least, the dialog that pops up is broken and lot of times the “Allow” button literally does nothing

With Termux on Android, it’s possible to install Debian in a proot environment.

More about this here: https://github.com/termux/proot-distro

I guess using this envirinment, it’s possible to set up your server to your needs.

One thing I don’t know is how to autostart Termux at boot, but there must be a way, “worst-case” a Tasker routine can do it. Also, another thing to considerate with this setup is Android’s memory management and to detect if your proot distro gets killed. But then again, maybe Tasker is good for that, too.

Good thing with this proot-distro thing is that it’s really easy and straightforward to set up, and basically you have a full Linux environment in your pocket. There are limitations, of course.

As for installing/flashing full Debian on an Android phone, let’s say it’s not possible. Your closest best bet would be Ubuntu Touch on a supported device.

There is a setting somewhere IIRC (or at least there was) where you can separate file browser processes from the “main” explorer.exe process so you can kill individual Explorer windows but not the whole environment.

No, I’m not recommending a distro for you

Don’t worry, everyone else does

Yeah, sure, a really nice thing.

They should open-source it, as they did with Calculator.

I liked the Earthbound way of random encounters.

like on porn sites

as someone, who could have been a professional classical guitar player, I am insulted.

so they are now pricey one-time/disposable phones

on mobile it’s just a huge pile of stinky shit anyway

Mario Kart 7, but 8DX would be fine, too.

I guess he just wanna links

oh yeah, now one can accidentally close the Start menu by clicking in the gap between the panels.

Back then as a kid I always wondered that how the hell would Windows Commander/Total Commander’s Connection between two PC with USB cable feature work and what cable would it need… (never saw A to A cables at that point)

The help file was about some special cable, but the photo had an A-A cable on it with some extra circuits in a plastic casing near the connectors. I was amazed and sad at the same time, since I would never had such a cable, and I really wanted to try hook up two PCs with USB, that just sounded nasty for some reason 😅

Debian is nice.

it was common amongst digital cameras in the early 2000’s.

and maybe you could somehow link up two computers as well…? tho that could have been some specialized cables

PCs/laptops with Windows preinstalled

or even pay extra to install it, if the machine would have FreeDOS by default.
