I believe there was an effort to get Gentoo Prefix running on Android as part of GSoC. I've yet to try it myself but you might find that useful. I doubt it runs x11, but your typical x11 application isn't really going to work well on a smartphone anyway unless you get a bluetooth mouse/keyboard for it, and a magnifying glass. If anything I could see linux applications moving more in the direction of Android, or at least KDE/Plasma. I don't care for getting rid of mouse-oriented UIs on desktops unless they're netbooks (ie Unity), but the idea of sandboxed applications is a good one, and aligns with the container direction the server world is moving in (I've only been happy with moving services to containers on my Gentoo box). If your browser can't do anything but set bookmarks and write to the downloads folder and that is enforced by the kernel, then your attack surface is greatly reduced. -- Rich
