Who wants Android on a PC? If anything, let’s get some better options for Linux on phones, tablets, and TVs.
Right now Android is a significantly better experience on touch screens like phones and tablets. And that would still hold for 2-in-1 laptops. Same for TVs and home consoles, better designed for remote/gamepad control.
Support is developing though and as we get more touch friendly and gamepad friendly linux, we get more PC friendly android, including non wall-gardened forks.
Yeah, hard pass. Don’t let an OS which has a walled-garden by default for apps get a toe in the door. Android is based in Linux, use that instead.
Yeah, no. If you really need to run Android apps on a PC, you can run them with Waydroid.
The experience is not the same
Because it will give Google full control over your device and it’s software. Same reason they try to close the app landscape on Android.
So just a closed Linux? Not any different than windows when it’s run by a massive corpo.
Everyone else is asking why and here I am wondering why an American company would use the English spelling of aluminium instead of the American spelling “aluminum” (Americans drop the last I).
Or maybe the author just wrote it in English out of habit and the word looks like the American version at a glance. But it’s something I notice.
Fun fact: “Aluminium” is the international / official spelling. But where Brits have to take the L, or rather the F, is with “Sulphur”, because the international / official spelling of that is “Sulfur”. The others aren’t wrong, but they’re not the standard.
Anyway, I wonder if the international spelling has anything to do with it. Or maybe it just follows better from Chromium.
Okay. Are they going to do the same thing they’re doing in Android now? Are we going to need to use ADB to install software without their consent?
x86 Android is new?
No but they are trying to merge ChromeOS with Android. Specifically running any linux app natively on Android
Here’s hoping GrapheneOS decides to support it! 🤞
Honestly, anything is better than windows. Even if it is horrible, its still some competition to microsoft.
Linux has existed for 31 years.
And it hasnt been a competitor for 31 years. I am not saying its bad, I will be switching to linux, but for most it isnt viable.
For most it absolutely is viable.
Linux is great for the average person, great for experts.
It’s the “pro-sumer” people that struggle most often. They’re the ones who know windows pretty well, know what apps they want to install, and have became used to the quirks of windows. They struggle to adapt.
Most people use their laptops for web browsing, YouTube, Spotify, and basic document editing. They’d be fine with Linux. They just don’t use it because laptops are sold with Windows.
