I love how I can customize my PC/VPS (Linux), and I feel truly at home. I hate smartphones (iPhone and Android). I hate it how limited I am in configuring them, and it’s a PITA to make sure it all syncs with my main computer.
Why isn’t it much more common to just use our phones as little windows/gateways to our actual computers? Using something like VCN? Internet speeds should be fast enough?
We could even build a little interface that makes it easier to navigate?
We‘re actually a couple steps ahead and building linux for phones. PostmarketOS is becoming more and more viable every day. Many people are helping to port it to new devices. If you have an old phone or can get your hands on one, you might enjoy it. Dont expect high polish or „I just want to use it and be done with it“ though because thats not how it works.
Moonlight / sunshine give you a good quality desktop anywhere on any device including your phones.
That and wireguard for vpn into my homenetwork is great.
This is basically why people self host. Then your phone is really just a client to all your services.
