Or for a much more lightweight installation, you can write pieces of an app in C to run on both devices and communicate over USB. You are limited only by your imagination and the effort you are willing to dedicate to learn how to do it.

I really like this idea! Maybe you could use something like a canvas element to just do all the ui in the browser. I was referring more to an operating-system level approach, where instead of building a thing on top of two separate operating systems, you have one operating system running on multiple devices. Something like

@knc1 - My apologies, rumor wasn't the right word. It was late, I was posting from my phone, and my comment was more to illustrate the fact (as noted in the lwn article linked above) that ARM systems are built to run on one core using the other chips as peripherals, rather than treating resources sensibly. Thanks for the link.
