Re: Don't most Linux distros have a watered down 'Live CD' version?
More than some UI tweaks. The 'Live CD' versions are generally for x86/ia64, not smartphone processors. Most of the 'Live CD' versions I have seen are not watered down either, but smartphones do not need a watered down version. They will need very good power management but a lot of that is app dependent, not just an OS function just like the smartphone OS/app combinations.
I am able to use a combination of a bluetooth keyboard and a chromecast to do what the dex is doing. I used the smartphone screen as a touchpad, but a BT mouse or USB mouse works for pointing. I haven't done the Linux thing on my current smartphone, but have on an older one. I still use a laptop for my computing needs.
