Some Android phones can already be dual booted with (in theory) any other UEFI compatible OS. There’s a whole guide on the PostmarketOS about setting up a dual boot environment.
I briefly tested PostmarketOS on a OnePlus 6T. The core functions seemed fine but overall it lacked functionality, so my plan was to dual boot with LineageOS (a degoogled android project) for the bits that really just want a true android environment to function properly, and PmOS for everything else I could manage. In the end I just wasn’t up for the process of setting up a dual boot, and went with just LineageOS. Been really happy with it so far, and will probably revisit dual booting when PmOS is more feature complete.
Edit, I suppose this doesn’t touch on the idea of running two separate OS’s on separate chips, and it does require a reboot to get the functionality of one OS or another, but besides that hiccup you’d get mostly the same functionality out of less complex hardware.
This is not dual booting in the classical way. Imagine your laptop had 2 processors, and you could be running Linux on one, while the other processor is dormant with Windows, and wakes up when you launch League Of Legends or something. But then, you minimize LoL and you are back on Linux.
Nah, All of India’s govt system mostly run pirated Windows. The southern state of Kerala has switched to Linux though. Every 2-3 years or so, the central government announces switching to Linux and then forgets about it.
This happened to me too. I had to grab the box that comes up and resize it like I would with a normal window, mine glitched a lot when I tried it, try resizing it as far as you can, it will try and glitch back, but just keep fighting it until it becomes a usable size, then log out of Plasma and log back in, and then you can size it back down to a normal size. Hopefully there will be an official fix for this soon
AAAAXY. It’s a really nerdy game where you are in a non-euclidian (escherian) space. I’ve already poured more than 30 hours into this game. It’s available on Linux as a Flatpak (recommended if you don’t know which to choose), an AppImage, or a native binary. divverent.github.io/aaaaxy (ps. it’s open-source)
