From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's an odd aspect ratio for a phone. And I can't say I love the look of that DE.
It's a foldable, unfolded. And that's XFCE with a Windows 95 theme - there's plenty of fans of the classic 90's look, in fact, people have made an entire operating system around that aesthetic.
I'd love that theme in my industrial equipment. Such a clear and concise visual language.
Ah, that makes sense with it being a foldable. As for the theme, each to their own, I guess.
What foldable are you using?
And how easy/hard was it to geht Linux running on it?
A Galaxy Fold 4. I used this script which made it pretty easy to install the whole thing, but you can also install it reasonably easily using proot-distro, if you want a choice of distro/more customisation options.
Awesome thanks!
Its not linux running on it. Its Termux! With termux-x11 plugin probably. I have this as well
Yup, that's what they said aswell.
Cool thing!
