Yeah it sounds closer to dex, where you cary around the os, but it fits any hardware in the ideal world for it, letting you use your pc anywhere with varying specs and an automatically adjusting frontend based on the hardware.
For those that dont use dex it gives you a desktop mode when you plug you phone into a monitor and attach a keyboard and mouse. Android may be adding some kind of desktop linux mode in the future.
The soulpad way youd carry around an ssd that you plugin to whatever hardware you’re using, im imagining by 2025 itd be either more bricky phones that also function as your computerdrive or ppl would still have small phones plus a wallet sized ssd. Prob a fashion accesory wearable if it actually was a thing lol
You’re right, in practice tho itd work like dex having your own customized environment with all your files and software, except itd use whatever hardware its plugged into, imo if it had become common phones would be the hardware its usually using and encased in, plugging in to a computer would give you dex mode, hence working like dex (but not hardware wise when in desktop mode)
Kinda like external gpus when they were popular with slim and thin laptops hardwarewise going from laptop to desktop in the same environmennt.
Would be cool for android to have a desktop mode that uses the hardware its plugged into, let you boot from your phone like a live usb (I think thats what live usbs are)

But RAM and CPU will be used from Mobile in dex? While in live usb I can use any RAM and CPU?

Well, there was an android app which let you make linux live usb if you have rooted device.
