So this weekend I decided to dual boot a seperate hdd with a linux distro, I've run gnome, kde, unity and still torn between each they got their ups and downs.
What are you fellow rezounders using for your nix box setup, distros? Shell interface? Fav theme etc

sorry bout that. I must say that very few people on the rez forum are running any kind of unix based OS's(beside osx). try posting in android general.
OS X FTW!!! I used to dual boot Linux mint 9, then 10, then 11 but it caused my MacBook to lag like hell

Mine is AMD Phenom X6 @3.5Ghz, 8GB DDR3 RAM @1666Mhz, AMD Radeon 6770. Fedora with Gnome3 is my host OS, but I often never touch the host OS. I usually work inside VMs, and I have Ubuntu 12.04, Windows 7 Enterprise, and Mac OS Server Snow Leopard set up and use Ubuntu for all my Android stuffs. I got two screens, so typically you'll see Windows 7 on the left and Ubuntu on the right.

Hmm how does Windows run in a VM box inside linux performance wise. Is it able to utilize the hardware efficiently? Or does it rely on a lot of emulation? If I up my RAM to compensate for the host and virtual system I kind of like that idea instead of Windows as host os

Windows runs great in a VM! I have a separate physical hard drive dedicated to each VM, so there is no slowdown associated with multiple OSes trying to utilize one hard drive at the same time.
Most of the devices are enumerated in some way. I use the redhat VirtIO network and storage drivers, which does give the guest OSes direct access to the networking and storage hardware. Video works ok with 3D acceleration, though I have never attempted something like gaming inside a VM. USB devices can be passed through to the guests such that the guest can directly communicate with a USB device (such as my Android phone for adb or fastboot stuff)
Generally speaking, for waht I do (mostly just webpage design and Android hacking), VMs are the perfect solution. I set it up this way originally so that I could do my web development in Windows, and then test how the page renders on different browsers and different OSes. In the past year though I've switched to where I'm really using Ubuntu as my primary OS, and only falling back to Windows when I really need to for some reason. I really love the flexibility of being able to simultaneously run many OSes on a single machine. If only I had a third monitor, then I could have Linux, Mac OS and Windows all on their own dedicated screens, sharing one keyboard and mouse! Awesome sauce!
AMD Athlon64x2 7550 K10 2.9ghz w 4gb DDR2 & Nvidia GTS250
Archlinux running XFCE4 with Compiz

WINE is always a good option to try before running windows in a VM if its avoidable.. as its an api helping to run win apps natively on linux VS running windows on a hardware emulator.. many apps and games run with few to no problems.. appdb.winehq.org ;-)

The ATRIX has an arm based processor not intel, unless they publish the source for it and can be compiled for the arm architecture its not gonna happen.

Actually, I take that back.. its a java based game, but still requires standard opengl graphics libraries.. android uses opengl es.. not sure what the diff is but its definitely not the same.
Having said all that, indie games is porting it to android / ios so well have a client eventually for our uber phones

Is there anyway to use the webtop application or any sort of full linux on the phone instead of having to output on the hdmi?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
As far as I know no there isn't, although I think it would be pretty cool.
Yes there is. I read an article where a man managed to run ubuntu and connect to it using a VNC viewer. Im not sure how but look around the forums. What u need to do is install ubuntu using the ubuntu install script available in the development forum and then install a VNC viewer from the market. Its been done b4. Its cumbersome and not much use, but it works.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
So was the vnc viewer to connect to the x server or whatever I forget what the right terminology is im tired
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Exactly. VNC viewer is used to "remotely" connect to X server since the atrix display drivers are configured specifically for android and do not support X at all. Like i said, its a cumbersome system, but it works.
So im guessing that would require a network connection and it would have the typical lag when using vnc

Virtualbox on arm to run x86 operating system ... That is not going to happen, virtualbox virtualizes a os it does not emulate it .. For the later you would need a very powerful CPU and it still would be slow if it would work..

Thank you for that... I thought virtual box processed everything first (emulated) so I figured it may work across architectures. Well that just ruined my day, I was really getting my hopes up too. I guess I will just have to hope that good for enterprise will get an app out for it at least.

What you want is Bochs or Qemu.
Bochs is a straight emulator which means it is slow.
Qemu has several modes: emulation, translation and virtualization. Translation (of processor instructions) would be the fastest mode in this case since virtualization isn't possible, but last time I used it (a long time ago), it wasn't quite stable.

It's not working yet. Canonical has proven that the concept can work by its Ubuntu for Android project. After the release of version 14.04 two weeks ago, they will start work on bringing Unity 8 (the desktop environment, current desktop version is 7 while the phone version is already Unity 8) and the Mir display server to the desktop. Afterwards, it should theoretically be possible to do that stuff. Additionally, they will continue to improve their SDK for the development of Ubuntu apps which already work on all platforms (phone, tablet and desktop) and adjust to screen size.
The whole concept is what they call Convergence.

It's great on both PC and mobile. However, on mobile it still has a long way to go until it reaches the state when it can be used by the average end-user. Keep in mind that it's making progress very fast though.
