Samsung used basically have a one click Linux environment. This is very useful for software developers. And with phones getting so powerful it should an obvious feature to bring back and improve.
I think in the past few years there hasnt been game changing features released in phones, but I think this feature could set samsung flagship phones apart. Especially for developers.
If anyone one knows of a way to run Linux or VS code with high performance and not emulated please comment and help me below.
Given AVF (Android Virtualization Framework) is around the corner and Samsung seems to be the only vendor allowed to not support it, it's just about time to bring Linux back back or provide us with alternative. Most Android devices will have soon real desktop environment expirience and Samsung users , might stay with half backed Dex. It will be a shame
Another very important matter, outside the USA, is the fact that Microsoft and Google are US companies. It should be noted that because of a certain global dynamic, that companies around the world, even in (former) befriended nations, are looking into alternatives.
I see more and more interest in Linux as a platform and after having experienced a test environment for a business, where nearly 90% of all the software ran and/or a viable alternative was presented with no CLI interaction needed (important for corporate / "normal user" usage), I have to agree even more: Samsung DEX for Linux could be that extra motivator for companies to switch to Samsung devices stead other Android branded phones or even iPhones.
From a technical perspective it's not difficult to reinitiate that Linux Dex client and update it to current standards.
The true problem here is Samsung having bet on Microsoft collaboration, which (I'm pretty sure) brings some contractual obligations as well. Even worse, I don't see anything but Microsoft To Do as a sync platform for Reminders.
Love the app (Reminders), but from an antitrust perspective, and e.g. EU legislation, I'd say ... Samsung could and presumably HAS to DO BETTER.
Keep up the good work Samsung, but don't ignore those potential improvements and don't ignore Linux!
