Yes, it can.

Device: Gemini PDA 4G x27
Sailfish OS version: 4.1.0.24
Linux distribution: Debian Sid armhf

Guide to make it work:

I had to do the
Code:
devel-su
ln -s /home/defaultuser /home/nemo
trick. Otherwise, it would not work in clean install of Sailfish OS 4.x. (If you updated from previous 3.x, or you are on older version, you can skip this.)

Then I followed the manual instructions in the first post instead of using GUI.
But one small change was needed - any line containing
Code:
/usr/share/sailfish-containers/guest
in
Code:
/var/lib/lxc/<container_name>/config
was not available, I had to add line
Code:
lxc.mount.entry = /usr/share/harbour-containers/scripts/guest mnt/guest none bind,create=dir 0 0
by myself.

I am using the "debian-mouse-landscape.sh" script to start the Sailfish "part". (Needed to do
Code:
devel-su
chmod +x debian-mouse-landscape.sh
before first launch)

What's not working:
- audio
- writing Fn+key symbols

What's working:
- running steam locomotive in terminal
- seems like everything else I've tried so far

Questions:

1) Is there anything I can do to fix the audio and keys, please? Shows no output hardware. Only dummy virtual output...

2) Also, any chance of running Anbox?

Thank you for any answer and for your great work.
