About a year ago, Samsung announced a Linux on DeX project after so Samsung smartphone to the Monitor will be able to "second change" Linux PC, run a full Linux operating system on top of Dex, but at that time only support a Linux distribution - - Ubuntu.
Regrettably, however, the project has now been declared "premature."
In came nearly a year later, Linux on DeX still is Beta version , and there will be no official version. Because Samsung send an email to staff involved in testing, indicating beta program has ended, and Linux on DeX device will run Android 10 does not support:
Thanks for the support you provide to Linux on DeX Beta, we develop Linux on DeX power from all of you enthusiastic and valuable feedback on this project to offer. Unfortunately, now we have to declare Linux on DeX Beta program coming to an end, and will no longer provide support for future operating systems and devices.
Note: Linux on DeX does not support Android 10 Beta, once the device will be upgraded to Android OS 10, will not be rolled back to the Android Pie. If you decide to upgrade your device to Android 10 Beta, we recommend backing up data before updating.
Samsung end of the project, although regrettable, but this result is not surprising, because in Linux on DeX entire life cycle, it does not get any major updates and improvements, but expanded the list of compatible devices . Samsung announced that as of the end of the project, Linux on DeX officially supports only one custom Ubuntu image - provided by Canonical Ubuntu 16.04 LTS version.
由于 Play Store 上的 Linux on DeX 应用在不久前已被下架，因此无法确切地知道有多少人在使用 Linux on DeX。考虑到这是一个迎合部分群体需求的小众项目，其用户数量可能微不足道。截至 2019 年 4 月，Linux on DeX 在 Play Store 上已被安装 5000 次，而 APKMirror 上的最新更新（于 4 月发布）被下载了近 36000 次。
如果你拥有一台未升级至 Android 10 的三星设备，现在仍可以通过从 APKMirror 下载应用程序并从三星网站获取系统镜像来体验 Linux on DeX 项目。
