Hello to everyone. After two week of research,maybe I found the right mobile phone to start doing some nice experimentation with FreeBSD : trying to install it natively or virtualized with kvm. This is the mobile phone that has almost all the characteristics I was looking for : https://www.amazon.it/Samsung-Smartphone-Espandibili-Versione-Ricondizionato/dp/B07RVQ3L2B/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Samsung+Galaxy+A6+%282018%29&qid=1685144363&s=electronics&sr=1-1 1) It is a little old and cheap : "only" 100 euros. 2) I found this interesting exynos patch : https://github.com/sleirsgoevy/exynos-kvm-patch My idea is to enable KVM on Android (or Linux ?) kernel and then virtualize FreeBSD on top of them. So,what's the quality of the FreeBSD for arm ? Which version of FreeBSD could I try to install / virtualize on that phone ? How much will FreeBSD be good if virtualized like that ? Sometimes I say that it is not a good idea because the OS will be overwhelmed and not really usable. What do you think ? -- Mario.
