The Linux OS is not stopped with the “vncserver-stop” command. Just the VNC service is stopped within the OS. To properly stop Linux, you need to do a “shutdown -h now” command, or less properly, stop the Termux session aka close the app. Also, VNC viewer android app does not create servers. It is a client that creates connections to servers. VNC can be installed on any Linux machine and the visual session can then be viewed on any machine with a VNC viewer. Overall though, great vid.
In this you can't use shutdown now, System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to bus: Host is down
Failed to talk to init daemon.
I usually like his videos but this one was a little too deep down the rabbit hole as most don't deal with CLI. Has anyone looked into how it is running the Distro seems like you could make some sort of launcher to change input of the screen or maybe just change the output to USB-C HDMI
You can also use sudo poweroff to shut down a lot of Linux variants
Just enter exit to shutdown
@@ragilmalik exit do logout, but that mean the OS is still running ? and how to start again?
Finally, I can run crisis and tf2 on my phone at 10fps
Why only 10?
Lol

@@psihuntr Nintendo Switch is also ARM and crysis runs 30fps on it.
With good optimalisation i think crysis can run good on snapdragon 845+ devices, if somebody start to port it.
This is very useful since most of us can't put linux on DeX, and running a full desktop experience on a phone it's just mind-blowing.

Can I download zorin os lite
Thanks for this tutorial .. i had downloaded andronix onto my basic tablet as it was having a lot of trouble. I could not believe the difference in how it ran. i am going to switch all my technology to linux. tired of bad performance of others. delighted to get this. don't understand it totally but i'll be learning more.
thank youuu thank you so muchhh!!! i also have the tab s6 and ive been trying all day to get linux, u dont know how much u have helped me , thank u man :,)

Wow thats sick, thanks for the vid bro
Hey! Another great video ETA! Thanks for sharing and making this so simple.
Man this channel is badass! Always cool stuff being shown here
Agreed! Never knew this was possible!
Thanks for this video. This is by far the best walk-through!
Curious to see how this performs compared to using an Amazon EC2 distro.. have been using RDP to remote into a Linux instance. I would imagine the lag would be significantly lower considering it's running on localhost rather than on a remote machine, although I'm still concerned about using VNC viewer as opposed to having something run natively.
Also it blows my mind that Termux basically can just run Linux flat out.
On modern phones, running natively is way better than RDP. And yes, performance improves when the VNC step is eliminated. But having termux run in the background while VNC takes the foreground makes it subject to battery savings, lower performance and sudden death. These issues were resolved in NOMone Desktop. No VNC altogether, all components integrated into one app that runs in the foreground, and removed the hassle of spinning off your own desktop environment. It's almost one click linux.
Nice, I have been looking for something like this to run on my Quest 2.
I have been looking for something just like this and was going to do a video on it, great video!!
This with Dex Mode/EMUI is freaking amazing.
Edit: I joined Premium 1 year ago. 100% love Andronix.
Do you guys think that if we have a high performance device like Samsung S20 Ultra + Dex/EMUI/NexDock we could use it to set a development environment?
@@tomhaydenss you can install IDE and use them effectively.
how do u get the viewer to run in dex mode?
@@rtbean8946 thanks for the suggestion. But it was my mistake.

Works on Lenovo Tab M10 HD, 4GB RAM, 8 core processor. Not smooth, but it runs.
Takes time to get used with moving around a cursor instead of tapping on folder or app.
Thank you for the detailed instructions!
I am now going to try this on my Tab M10 FHD plus as well. That’s because it’s only android device I have.
This is indeed a perfect alternative for the now defunct Linux on Dex.
Thank you for providing us with usefull tech-tainment as you always do.
Mabe you could do a short video showing off how it is that you use Linux on your devices so often, show us what we are missing out (:
Isn't it better to use a de-Google and rooted device then run Linux known open source code?
😏
Seriously one awesome video , useful and helpful .never thought i could use phone as cpu and to see these many distros in the list , it feels worthy to buy an android phone with dex and use it as full PC instead of buying costly macbook or notebooks ..slowly if they include capability to run gnome,kde ,cinnamon ,mate desktop environments as well it would be mind blowing..thanks a ton for this video..
How does it compare to the regular experience ?
is there any limitations? or you can do any thing that you are able to do in a regular Linux installation?
OMG! This is a Godsend. Time to geek out! Thank you and great video.

@@newtonfirefly3584 then how hehe
@@TV-nt1go It depends upon which device You have, if there is a Linux version available and then means to install it on Your device.
As for removing the bi-G, the basic way is to install a ROM without bi-G, or Your manufacture's applications which are usually based upon GSI-generic open-source Android. Depending upon which device You have, there may be many versions to choose from. The precise methods can be found via searching for information specific for Your device.
Hope this is helpful,
If You need further specific assistance, please ask me or on various forums , and specify Your device.
Sincerely
@@newtonfirefly3584 can you run Linux applications like, say, Tuxler on an android phone?
@@gabbyn.3049 Amm not aware of this specific application called Tuxler, but Linux mostly uses programs, as what am aware of.
Either way or what You call them, once Your computer device is running a Linux distribution, then the Linux programs will function.
There may be some limitations depending upon the distribution, per the CPU/GPU inside Your device, since the device You would be changing from Android to a proper Linux has a ARM-RISC CPU. 🤓
Some other means of modifying the Android within GSI and other versions, which may allow Linux programs, may have some limitations and allowances which You will need to ask those that develop their Android OS versions. 🤓
Hope this is helpful, useful and beneficial.
All The Best and Much Success in Your Quest, Health and Well Being.🙂

oh, it's amazing! Now i can use linux on my phone, Thank you !
This vid was a lot better than the other one thanks and great job
Totally recommended. Bought all 4 modded OS. I love manjaro but you need to set up the repo list for pacman at first. I recommend the debian one as it is the most stable, coming from someone who has used this for a year continuously as a home server using my old G5.
Have this configured on my Samsung S6 tab works well for some minor dev work with access to some of the basic Linux tools, including a version of Microsoft code(very cool!), however this is NOT a full blown Linux operating system, it's essentially a chroot on steroids ( more accurately called proot) you can only install linux apps that are complied for aarch/arm64 architecture which is limited today(that may change with devices adopting more arm processors) with Linux in dex dead, this is the closest alternative.
My phone does not run an arm processor, so nothing will work on it?
Thanks i finally have linux on my device it was pretty easy to set up my samsung s20 ultra seems more smoother and when i clean my phone of extra storage it dips below of what i had before even with 82 gigs storage left and I have more of a general idea of how linux works thanks😁👍
I just managed to install linux on my old oneplus 5t thanks to your tutorial video. I am about to start an old armed assault dedicated server on that distro and have some coop fun with my mates.
I was thinking about Linux alternatives to windows for maybe two years now, but never went through with it - the closest I was is when I have downloaded manjaro plasma to replace win10 on mine 2080rtx laptop but installation from the usb drive didnt work.
Once I have seen this tutorial + the fact you use manjaro as well I immediately knew this is the time I have to commit again to learn new things and dedicate time to make it work. Your tutorial was spot on and everything went exactly as you have instructed, so great job, thank you and I am happy to be another new user of Linux in the community
I recommend always starting from Ubuntu in desktop linux world. From my experience its the easiest to install, stable to use and supported because of its popularity.

@@rafael6237 Heya.. Just saw this. Humm, not sure how versed you are with Linux, so not sure where to start. I am not all that proficient personally. So this first question might be a simple silly one, have you checked your source libraries, make sure they are correct and working to upgrade arm distro. How did you originally install Ubuntu? What repository? Since the recent release of latest Ubuntu, I will look into this myself. There is a new Raspberry Pi distro, so hoping the Arm port is also avail. Ping me so we can chat more in-depth. I would suggest finding/installing latest version from the start. Let's see what's the latest we can find to start with.

@@jimstu8316 What?
Sorry misunderstood sorry to bother you buddy
Friend or foe
a quick question - how's the performance lag? i.e. when you type and when you see it come on screen? plus how do you connect to an external monitor?
Lag is equal to amount of changes on the screen so just typing characters will be fine. VNC client runs as every other application so connecting external screen should be as easy as before via hdmi, miracast etc.
I used to just connect to the VNC server from my PC on the same local network, it's impressive the responsiveness and performance considering I was using a low-end phone connected through Wifi. No need to even touch the phone that way.
Depend on your hardware and what connection you're using. Lots of samsung phones support ethernet so when you connect your phone using ethernet and vnc it using another device which is connected via ethernet, the limit is only your router's bandwidth. (Not internet, since as long as your devices are under the same public ip, you're actually not using internet). If you're using wifi on both end, the limit is the slowest wifi receiver on either devices, minus around 20% overhead and the distance from your router.
if u connect it with an optical cable like hdmi there should be no lag. linux and vnc are running on the same system. so its a emulated network connection. connecting it with screen share or any other wireless solution will add some lag
I am using vnc with xrdp. Once you have hotspot on you can connect to your phone via the ip address assigned to your Termux linux box. I don't require Andronix for it, termux will do everything. Also I am using a low end phone without hdmi support and also do not have any WiFi casting supported monitor, so this is my only option.
the way you explain it is very easy to understand, keep improving friends

Man, I'm searching for it makes a little bit time and I couldn't fide nothing. The closest thing we can do is install a custom rum similar to linux, but not linux because we cannot install an iso with a recovery mode (these are the information I could find researching about it).

@@nael2770 It's a bit hard to explain in words.
But there are two times where you copies commands from Andronix. The first one creates the manjaro-start.sh. After you run the manjaro-start.sh you end up att [@root...]. Then you need to get the second command.

Do you guys still need help?
@@makadulla would be helpful to know still, yes
@@makadulla Yes
When you start the Termux application it will likely start in the home directory. You can double check this by typing "pwd" into the terminal, the directory should be "*/home". The home directory should contain a shell script (*.sh) (unless you've changed the directory when installing the distro) which is used to start your chosen linux-distro. For me the script is named "start-manjaro.sh". I assume your file should be namned "start-xxxx.sh" where xxxx is your chosen distro name. Check the name by typing "ls" into the terminal to check what files are in the current directory. Then write "./YourFileName.sh". For me it is "./start-manjaro.sh".
Once you have executed the shell script you should have entered the terminal of the distro. From there just write "vncserver-start" and you should be good to. Don't forget to type "vncserver-stop" before you stop termux to close the port that is used by vnc, otherwise you might need to reboot your device to get the vncserver to work again.
Tell me how it goes, I'm happy to help.
UserLAnd is MUCH easier to setup, and better as a whole. I highly recommend avoiding these "copy-and-paste these commands" applications, and going for UserLAnd, which does everything for you and drops you into a shell right after installing a distro. You can setup VNC and whatever else you'd like from there. Termux by itself is great as well. UserLAnd just builts upon Termux and installs a full-fledged distribution for you.
What is even easier is NOMone desktop. No VNC, no scripts and it is only few clicks away to run a full fledged Linux OS

Still amazing regardless, but just making sure we're on the same page here. It still allocates a chunk of the system storage space one way or the other, but I was just curious.
Interesting... So it's using the same linux kernel on the phone and running natively in ARM Mode? Or is there a compatibility or emulation layer in the middle?
Really cool stuff! Thanks for sharing this!
Linux on Android works by using the same kernel your device uses. The linux distro and it's applications have to be compiled for ARM and if there's no root, you don't have much interesting stuff to do besides unpriveileged stuff like basic nmap scans. It's still useful but not very much.
@@drac.96 Oh I see! So that's how it is.. I appreciate your reply! Well, if rooting the phone can give it access to root on linux that's interesting too.. At least the ARM compiled apps can work sans video drivers I suppose as that'll be a lot of work to get vulkan or anything up and running..

A device which has Android from the manufacture can be replaced with various Android versions without bigG or Your manufacture s/w, apps via installing a different ROM with GSI, Qwizz, Physwizz, Bliss, Linage OS, various AOSPA or other custom ROM.
Some may or may not require to root the device.
Please remember Android is a Linux based OS, but is limited too.
If You can install and run a proper, full Linux, You need not install any other Android ROM.
Much depends upon Your device, meaning specifically the processor, CPU, GPU, and other hardware, if which ROM versions are available and if any full Linux versions are available too.
My suggestion, is to search [not using bigG] which ROM are available for Your device or any device You want to use.
Then, specific instructions from the source ROM OS or via search are easy to find also.
You may need a computer with a working version of MS Win, from version 7 or if like me that uses Linux, there is a program which allows running Windows exe programs called WINE.
If You need any specific help with Your device to find available ROM or installation process instructions, please ask me, and will need to know which specific device You desire to modify the ROM OS.
Hopefully this information is helpful and useful.
All The Best and Much Success in Your Quest, Health and Well Being.

What would be the purpose of being able to run Linux on your phone?
Average person, not much. But tons of different reasons for power users. Some useful apps and tools are still desktop only. And some people are interested in being able to use their phone as a computer where they can plug it into a dock and have a full OS, but pickup their phone and go with everything still on it.
Lots but is still limited due to the limited support for arm devices on linux. Furthermore andronix is using proot, not chroot, which means andronix's OSes can only act as a user, not root to your phone.
