But these days generally prefer to run Dex on Windows instead of carrying another device. Would love to see Dex on Linux happening officially. The workaround, although admirable, seemed too clunky to try [1]

Typed in 你好吗 and decompressed it. The decompression was an entertaining read.
Slid in a floppy disk and failed to write to it when pressing the shutter button on the camera. Didn't get it working and forget if I tried to format the floppy from the camera or not, if such method exists?
the samsung galaxy note 8 plugged into the hp elite x3 lapdock is a great candidate. doing this gives you a larger screen, keyboard, and trackpad.
furthermore, can use rooted android to develop for windows and windows ce by using tcc in conjunction with the aforementioned ndk to build tcc on the phone.
basically have three environments on it:
1 chrome with chromebrew shell and android apps
2 crouton for most linux needs
3 gallium for when i need VMs and other more finicky os interactions
if i could get some wifi drivers working under crouton and also sync with appropriate os header files each google sw update in order to install virtualbox i could forego galliumos.
under crouton was able to do a lot:
1 natively compile with gcc
2 cross compile for kindle paperwhite
3 cross compile for windows ce
4 cross compile for esp8266
5 cross compile for garmin connectiq
the author of the original article is funny about using a linux vm to compile apps for android and run in chromeos. because today i can use the android app named aide to build an android app on my chromebook and immediately execute it. no need for linux, vm, or crouton.
worked quickly and wonderfully, screenshot and recipe is here:
Had to charge it for longer than recent phones needed, but it came up well (except bluetooth). Fortunately WiFi worked with my current phone's hotspot.
After that had to find a solution for ssh client. Wound up using a midlet runner found on xda-developers and an ssh jar file. The keyboard usage was interesting after foregoing it for about a decade.
iPad:~/ root# ioreg -l -w0 | grep Capacity | | | | | "Capacity" = 960 | | "BootCapacityEstimate" = 87 | | "BatteryData" = {"CycleCount"=232,"MaxCapacity"=10639,"FullAvailableCapacity"=11085,"StateOfCharge"=98, "MfgData"=<redacted cuz it looks like a unique id>, "DesignCapacity"=11560,"QmaxCell0"=11678,"Flags"=1,"ManufactureDate"="6205","ChemID"=4384,"BatterySerialNumber"="redacted","Voltage"=4155} | | "CurrentCapacity" = 10500 | | "BootBBCapacity" = 10364 | | "AppleRawCurrentCapacity" = 10242 | | "AbsoluteCapacity" = 11272 | | "AppleRawMaxCapacity" = 10489 | | "MaxCapacity" = 10500 | | "DesignCapacity" = 11560
I hypothesize that the MaxCapacity will drift lower over time. They have all the info they need in their registry.
I even hacked it's golf database to update for the Torrey Pines North redesign which occurred last year.
For the other data pulls, the xda folks did that.
Garmin may also work, depending your use case. I couldn't get golf working without their service, so I leave it unused. used some java library found online to parse their .fit files within an android app, so can get data on my phone without going through their servers.
