Earlier quoted context omitted.

In your experience, how well does the lapdock run with an RPi? I have a lapdock lying around, and never thought of this for some reason.

For me it's mostly a novelty - I put RiscOS on it to try it out, and it seems snappy enough. But it's a mess of cables - I never got around to making it as pretty as some [1] [0] https://www.riscosopen.org/content/downloads/raspberry-pi [1] https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/27081

Thanks! This looks like a pretty simple solution to me.

What would you base it on? Mainline Linux is possible on the 2013 Nexus 7, but you might fry your flash if one of the parameters is wrong.

Idk, but Android isn't the way to go

Probably would need to make a custom OS. I'd probably base it on BSD
