Okay, maybe not so dull, but it was more hoops than I figured I’d have to jump through, but I finally got the basics all set up and working!

Edit: I basically followed this guide:

Plus, if you don’t have an external keyboard, I highly suggest the Hackers Keyboard app.
Edit 2, some semi quick testing…
- Synaptic ✅
- Firefox ✅
- GIMP ✅
- VLC ✅
- gedit ✅
- ghex ✅
- LibreOffice 🚫
Damn you for putting this in my head the other day. Because I’ve just spent the entire morning doing the same thing. And I’m now figuring out how to install Libreoffice on it, using proot and debian or whatever.
Who needs an actual laptop when you can have an 11 year old Samsung tablet with a 2ghz processor and 3gb of RAM?
I haven’t bothered with the whole proot thing yet, how does all that work out? Like, how much space does it occupy to install and get set up? Including LibreOffice?
I’ve barely got 3GB of storage left at the moment, unless I go gutting my main Android apps…
