Qualcomm claims that my Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus’ Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU is faster than the Intel Core Ultra 288V chip. My smartphone also has 12GB of RAM and 512GB of solid-state storage. In short, it’s more powerful than most of my laptops. So why not use it as a laptop?

Why not, indeed, says Google, which has introduced – at long last – a native Linux Terminal application in its March 2025 Pixel Feature Drop.

    Man I feel I’d almost wiped the debian install and added NixOS (nix package manager works fine under debian) using nixos-infect

    A clean install and a night’s sleep and I’ll probably forget I was attempting this, but looks promising.

      And I’m having issues writing / completing the install to /boot

      Files are written to boot by the nixos-infect script, then disappear after sometime… If the VM is shutdown / rebooted I get the previously displayed unrecoverable error screen.

      Might be an easier way to achieve this.
