iPad Pro ~ UTM via Trollstore

More than two years old, I wrote regarding UTM on iPad and my vision for iPad OS. Thanks to Apple for doing almost nothing interesting for the iPad. My iPad Pro had eaten too much dust and kept on iPad OS 16.2. Finally, TrollStore supported iOS and iPad OS 16. With that, I can run UTM with virtualisation support, and it can run faster than many x86 laptops. The new Stage Manager on iPad OS 16 was indeed a great addition or start for iPads to be somewhat productive, because it can support an external display and run multiple apps at the same time....

UTM

UTM is a virtualisation app for iOS and iPad OS. This is the only saviour for my new iPad Pro. ISH is simply too slow and took forever to compile my C/C++ code. Jekyll simple doesn’t work at all. With UTM, I can use Jykell with Debian at least but it is not great. Maybe, I should just download a git client on iOS and write my new post there....

My vision for iPad OS

Yesterday, I talked about my new iPad Pro M1. I love it and hate it at the same time. Today, I think I should talk about my vision of iPad OS. Apple may have something completely different in their mind but today, no Apple only me. The first iPad I used was the very first iPad. It was nothing special but a larger and powerful iPhone. My mom used to watch videos on it and she is still doing the same today....

iPad Pro M1

Today, I received my iPad Pro M1. The delivery is quick and I bought it because of the coupon I got from Apple. This device is amazing for an average user but very limiting for me. I enjoy everything Apple offers but it can never become a computer if the system is this limited. I received my coupon earlier this year after returning my Developer Transition Kit. It was a failure but that’s another topic....

Linux on Android

Recently, I installed Debian on my phone with Termux. The intention was hosting a Minecraft server on my old Android phone. It has a Snapdragon 835 and 8 GB of RAM. The server was just perfect and now, I can play Minecraft with my friends whenever I want. How COOL is that?! Phones are now so powerful to even compete with a laptop computer. I did lots of setups and installed many things....
