@andy_warb@mastodon.social I'm actually wondering if ChromeOS might be your best bet?

@andy_warb@mastodon.social Raspbian uses xfce, I believe, and I've managed to use it down to a 3.5" touchscreen. It's not a *good* experience at that size, but it can be usable. GUI and terminal.

@andy_warb@mastodon.social What kind of experience do you want on it? I've been carrying a folding pocket keyboard to use with my phone + Termux and it's fairly usable. If I was doing it, I'd go with a TUI++ approach on a very basic Linux distro, with tmux and a shell being the main mode. If the sky was the limit, I might even put in some dedicated buttons for the most common tmux keystrokes. And of course if I went full-graphics mode I'd have some sweet sweet XScreenSaver hack to make it pretty when it's idle.

@andy_warb@mastodon.social • Mobian • PureOS, via their Librem devices • /e/ OS • Plasma Mobile take all this with a grain of salt, I've only ran Mint and Solus on my personal laptop
