@chrastecky@phpc.social @purrperl@noc.social @channelOwen@fosstodon.org like, Linux kernel, X11 or maybe Weston these days, a custom DE designed for touch screens, your usual directory structure and there you go, non-desktop gnu for your phone. Really it's the DE that makes all the difference. The rest is drivers (that may dictate the kernel's version) and specific kernel build settings

@duckz@mastodon.gamedev.place @chrastecky@phpc.social @channelOwen@fosstodon.org As it happens, text=based GNU/Emacs is basically all I need. vim in a pinch. No graphics-based UI, like Xemacs. No need for touch screen features. VS Codium is also a useful DE, though it's optional.

@duckz@mastodon.gamedev.place @chrastecky@phpc.social @channelOwen@fosstodon.org Just occurred to me that if any mobile Linux distro supports Docker, then you're home free. Set up Debian, with a web server, and development tools, all inside a Docker container, for a fully functional web development environment.
