You only need to be able to run Electron - so probably yes, but it will be incredibly slow. Also Electron can be quite RAM heavy, so things will get really awful if you hit swap.

yup...

Kickass... :O

Haha, that'll be interesting.. I was watching this the other day thinking it'd be ideal

Not a massive fan of the path mobile development went down, and that it dragged the desktop experience with it.

Many good things start small. But I'm waiting for a phone, which can run Windows 10 desktop apps.

But why though? Microsoft have been famously hostile towards F/LOSS for many years now (decades in fact).

We are just starting to begin to be able to Have Nice Things™ (no thanks to them).

Let them (and others like them with similar dinosaur business models) just die off already.

Because most of the sofware I use is for windows 10. But is a virual machine with windows 10 on a phone attractive? More attractive is an OS which fits to the processor. Windows 10 desktop phones are not in sight. I asked this question before in this forum. More interesting is software like GNU Octave, which runs on Linux and can run Matlab software like EEGLAB. But I'm still waiting for a PinePhone with more RAM, and a processor which is as powerful as possible.

That's why we're stuck with Windows. Everyone wants to use it because everyone uses it because everyone wants to use it. Get the software developer to port to a better OS, or write your own software. That's what I tend to do. I ditched Wintel when Windows 95 proved inevitable.

The fastest possible processor will never be as fast as the next one. So wait for the next one.
