    While others already pointed out the similarity to persistent LiveUSB, I would argue that this also feels a bit like Android desktop modes, like Samsung Dex.

      Yeah it sounds closer to dex, where you cary around the os, but it fits any hardware in the ideal world for it, letting you use your pc anywhere with varying specs and an automatically adjusting frontend based on the hardware. For those that dont use dex it gives you a desktop mode when you plug you phone into a monitor and attach a keyboard and mouse. Android may be adding some kind of desktop linux mode in the future.

      The soulpad way youd carry around an ssd that you plugin to whatever hardware you’re using, im imagining by 2025 itd be either more bricky phones that also function as your computerdrive or ppl would still have small phones plus a wallet sized ssd. Prob a fashion accesory wearable if it actually was a thing lol

      reminds me of Andromium. I thought that was a neat idea, but never tried it. The last time I played with gnome mobile on a pinephone, it seemed to be getting to a point where it could probably be used for something like this. It adjusted to whatever size screen it was running on. It also looked nice on the pinetab, but really need better hardware.
