I used LoD often. It was just perfect for on-the-go javascript hacking. In fact at least 200+ commits to the Kea project [2] were written with Linux on Dex.
The only issue I had was that with larger projects [3] when running in the Mate desktop environment, I quickly ran out of inodes... and there was no way to increment them. I had to turn off many things in vscode (file watcher) and my projects (recompile on change) to have an usable system.
Time to look for alternatives. In the worst case I can just connect to a VNC server somewhere (LoD also used VNC), but that requires constant internet access and has issues of its own. LoD was just perfect for quick code writing in airplanes, etc.
