from the year-of-linux-down-by-the-docks dept.

Samsung has announced a new app called Linux on Galaxy that works with its DeX docking station to bring a full Linux desktop experience to Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphone users.

Comments from IDC sounded skeptical saying the concept is "interesting at best", but "the No. 1 challenge is that there is no public infrastructure for where you can dock your phone, other than in your home or office... Where you really would like to have that is at a hotel, at an airport, etc."

Samsung is touting their DeX environment as "supremely better than all the earlier attempts to have a smartphone docking into a big screen".

    AC nails it.

    There's also the history of Roman love for stinky fish all smashed up; a cat's soup (no). Can't remember the name.

    Aged pureed mackerel in tomato might come close to that and by the way I'm slightly horrified to discover (while searching for a fitting visual example) that mackerel in tomato is a global thing (Thai example here [amazon.com], at least they gave it a pretty mascot instead of a picture of the contents looking like the usual asphalt pizza/roadkill).

    Pum Pui... another great company name, likely "om-nom-ato-poetic" :D (spelt [wiktionary.org] wrong on purpose!)
