Nostr Web Client

I just want to dock my phone and get a full blown linux desktop experience. How close are we 👀 nostr:note1zcwhwkrc0ns8tvg7gvgf93skcy09spydh5yma3afva2v22n6dtvqz32z5t

Next update adds support for GUI. There's still more work to be done and there should be options for other distros instead of Debian.

Users should experiment around with all sorts of different setups and scenarios and see what works because this is still experimental at this stage.

The end goal is to run Windows or desktop Linux applications with desktop mode + USB-C DisplayPort alt mode on the Pixel 8 and later (which has DP alt mode). The other goal is to run GrapheneOS apps in nested virtual machines for greater isolation. The first objective is closer than the second.

This cool

but doesn't it completely break the Android security model?

No as they're isolated guest virtual machines separate from the GrapheneOS host. What happens in the VM stays within the VM, it's nothing like rooting your phone and using your Host OS' Linux kernel to run desktop Linux software. It's a logically separate and isolated virtual environment.
