VolksPC - Android and Debian at the same time
The developers of MicroXWin — the Xorg kernel-mode server — are busy with their new brainchild of VolksPC.
VolksPC is a computer where you can start Android and Debian at the same time, at full hardware speed, and switch between them with a hot key. No emulation, no VNC, no freezing of states: two full-fledged systems work simultaneously.
Systems are also completely independent of each other. You can unload Android and use only Debian, and vice versa.
The video is in no way edited, it shows the actual speed of launching and running applications.
')
The characteristics are fairly standard, however, I would like more memory and RAM, given that 2 systems are running at the same time. Debian, however sad it may be, does not support hardware acceleration in X and hardware video decoding. Also, as can be seen from the video, for Android and Debian a common file system is used.
It is assumed that such a computer can be convenient for users who need Android multimedia capabilities and the power of Linux-based applications.
Unfortunately, there is no information about the release dates of the device, and MicroXWin itself is a proprietary development, so you should not expect fast ports of this project to other devices.
