This is more of a conversation. Did not see a discussion section.- Why use Dex

[WilsonBradley]

Had a stupid question, I guess. If we have LinuxDeploy- I used it for years and loved it. Lately, Iv'e seen a pickup in Dex Chatter.. Whats the advantage of using Samsung Dex (linux) over Linux Deploy?

I mean with Linux Deploy at least, 1.)you can share files across 2.)runs in background. 3.)Portable, use Linux distro within standalone phone 4.) easily copy/move complete build within a file.

I must be missing something.

Linux on Dex is hardware accelerated. However there’s no comparison now since it’s been effectively discontinued. Most people from the old days have moved on and switched to Linux Deploy instead.
