Remix OS (Android for PCs)

  I hope this gains traction. The more interesting thing would be the UI of Android/Jide and all the apps running in parallel with legacy Linux. For instance, they recommended installing on a flash drive, but want the drive formatted as fat-32. Instead the drive should be formatted to F2FS for performance with flash storage. Imagine launching native Linux eclipse right from this desktop Android ui. And run the native Netflix app in a second window. Golden

    There is already a X server for android (albeit buggy as hell) but yeah, it's possible
    • mankash666 11y ago
      It's not X server that's important. The Android Linux kernel has different modules enabled/disabled. For instance, standard IPC is replaced by Binders, and kernel module loading is typically disabled. What you need is a super-set of android-Linux and desktop linux with all possible conflicts resolved.

  Few apps has good experience on Remix OS, and no one will develop app for Remix OS.

    But if it has the Play store and runs all phone apps ok, no one has to develop apps specifically for Remix OS. Big if, of course.

  So... It's android with apps run in some kind of window manager, and a taskbar-launcher? I'm confused.
