I Built a Portable Linux PC Using a Phone — Docker, Blender, VS Code

In this video, I tested Linux on multiple Android phones to see if a phone can actually work as a real portable Linux PC.

I tested:
* Android Virtualization Framework (AVF) on Android 16
* Linux containers with hardware acceleration
* Proot-based Linux setups
* External monitor desktop mode
* Docker on Android
* VS Code, Blender, LibreOffice, Chromium, Wireshark and more

One setup was running full Debian Linux directly through Android’s built-in virtualization framework, while another was using hardware-accelerated Linux containers on a normal Android phone.

I also tested:
* Linux desktop performance on Android
* Stability and crashes
* Hardware acceleration with Mesa Zink + Turnip drivers
* Proot vs containers
* Real-world usability
* Coding and development workflows on a phone

I even built and tested a Python project entirely on an Android phone.…
