Wolfgang Wiedmeyer is working on upgrading Replicant to Android 6.0, so you should base your work on top of his. http://redmine.replicant.us/boards/21/topics/12057?r=12927 has more details on it. Also, your goal is not very clear to me. What do you want to run Replicant on exactly: - An x86 desktop/laptop? Some laptops have a touchscreens, a modem, and a GPS inside the modem. - A vm inside a desktop/laptop? - An SBC? Since mainline Linux now requires very few changes to run Android, I don't see why it couldn't run on x86. However running a full GNU/Linux desktop environment on top is another story(You would need to port it on Android). So instead you would probably need to run it aside trough chroot, virtualization techniques, or other mechanism. In f-droid there is also an application to convert Android applications to run on top of the chrome browser, however I'm not aware of 100% free software distributions that ships a modified version of chrome.
