Hi everybody. I have a rooted phone and I was thinking, If I can spin up something like Samsung DEX on my phone, alongside my android, that uses Linux, I can do 80% of my work just with my phone. Is that doable? Can someone provide me with more information?

Termux + Termux-x11 + Proot for Linux software.
You can do it without Proot if all the software that you need is already in Termux-x11 repository.
SmartDock / Taskbar for Android applications.

I made a relevant XDA thread some time ago.
