I love how I can customize my PC/VPS (Linux), and I feel truly at home. I hate smartphones (iPhone and Android). I hate it how limited I am in configuring them, and it’s a PITA to make sure it all syncs with my main computer.

Why isn’t it much more common to just use our phones as little windows/gateways to our actual computers? Using something like VCN? Internet speeds should be fast enough?

We could even build a little interface that makes it easier to navigate?

    For a long time I ssh’d into my vps to manage tasks and notes in emacs and even play dwarf fortress.

    With utilities like screen you can rejoin sessions anywhere, etc.

    Have you tried this?

    Never tried to get a GUI running like this.

      Yes, I also did that for some time yes. Maybe I should start doing that again. Good tip to use screen for this.
