Few years ago I was forced to use android tablet. Since I didn't give a | |
fuck about mobile networking I started with 2G connection with dload | |
rate of 20..25 MB per hour in good weather. | |
At first I tried KBOX for a set of terminal/essential survival tools. | |
It bribed me with laughing dload size (remember 2G) but appeared to be | |
horrible waste of time (totally buggy if working at all). [1] | |
I had to keep existing android installation so next (and final) thing I | |
tried was GNURoot with Debian, which I got over Fdroid. I was capable | |
to download it over 2G before I got hands on 3G. The only thing I had | |
to fix was something in /var/cache/apt about aptitude to get it | |
working. Obvious drawback was debian base size - something around few | |
GB. But I got everything I can imagine as long as it is cli - | |
zsh/mc/tmux/weechat/ssh/whatever. UTF-8, key combos - usually most of | |
things just worked. | |
I used protective film on tablet's screen. Something was wrong with | |
sticking touch events. And it's generally slow experience. I also had | |
tablet case with USB keyboard, where at first you'd break your fingers, | |
but in general it gave somewhat faster typing and saved precious screen | |
space. I remember there was some drawback with M- combinations or | |
something like that. And I had to customize plenty of shortcuts of tmux | |
and something else I hardly remember. | |
Some survival tools (aside of what you may run from gnuroot/debian): | |
- youtube-dl (with gnu root) and then aimp and vlc | |
- hacker keyboard (google play) | |
- simply do () - I tried all fdroid todo tools and some from playstore, | |
and sticked to this one - it's just list of lists and then list of | |
items with checkboxes - freaking simple. More fancy tools with | |
priorities, tags and dates was todoist (iirc) | |
- ted (fdroid) - simple text editor | |
- mathdroid (fdroid) - calc | |
- ghost commander (fdroid), that's where I made shortcuts for pdfs and | |
packed archives | |
- MediBang Paint (google play) - best (of worst) experience when I was | |
in need of something like "paint" - it had layers, pencil tool and | |
photo effects | |
- datastats (fdroid) - up/down link speed (it doesn't weight 30 MB like | |
Speedtest) | |
- DiskUsage (fdroid) - your ncdu for touch screens | |
- other fdroid tools: apkshare, cache cleaner | |
I'd also like to mention Battle for Wesnoth port by Alessandro Pira. | |
Initially there was moment when I had to use its official FAQ, but then | |
it was just flawless. Wesnoth campaign packs can be sorted by download | |
size (lots are less than 1 MB), and it appeared I didn't play many. | |
Overall it's excellent experience if you have half hour of free time - | |
no need to spend all of attention diving for example into some reading | |
topic, and since it's turn based you may interrupt and continue at any | |
given moment. | |
## Afterword | |
I'm fucking happy person I stayed for so long away from mobile touch | |
shit, I really can't believe people use this. I had to keep 3-5 | |
alternative tools for single task because all of them sooner or later | |
crashed/failed to do task/failed to open own results/people used | |
different tool for that task. And that's not mentioning plenty of tools | |
under particular "brand" names which only read their file format | |
(if they may do even this properly) and tools operating in the | |
butt (read cloud) requiring stable highspeed connection. Now imagine | |
time to install and test all of them. Without proper precautions | |
android experience may turn sane dude instantly greyhair. Humanity has | |
declined. | |
Go on if you have something to tell about your experience with | |
archlinux or anything else you use on your tablets, especially on | |
touch-screen user experience aspect. I'd appreciate it next time I try | |
contemporary mobile/tablet. Any deadlock situations? Tools ecosystem? | |
Looking at android security news and vendor update policies (for | |
example my tablet stopped updating in few years) I doubt I will use on | |
daily basis anything stocked with software which will sooner or later | |
be discontinued with no alternative (and vendor doesn't tell if it'll | |
drop your model - and it surely will); and I don't know present state | |
of things with linux and siblings on touch screen. This question | |
especially makes sense since I'd like hardened case tablet and really | |
won't enjoy it becoming obsolete with software. | |
