Works only with snap, unless you want take the trouble of building it on your own...

It's also packaged in Debian contrib, if you want to avoid the snap.

  Cool, that was my question too. It needs import to Mobian.

    I wrote something on that a while ago: https://linmob.net/2020/08/15/anbox-on-the-pinephone.html https://linmob.net/2020/08/15/anbox-on-the-pinephone.html (I’ve since switched to ArchLinuxARM (and published several videos on how Anbox runs on t he PinePhone on YouTube) and won’t go back unless that breaks, so I don’t know what the current state is on Mobian.)

    It turns out Anbox is already in the repository 2020/05 version) and ashmem and binder are in the kernel already. The keyboard seems like a problem, but a USB keyboard works fine in Mobian; it just needs to find its way through to Anbox.

  I have managed to install anbox & the modules successfully in Xubuntu (without snap). However, _application manager service_ needs to be started, and I am at a loss how to do this...

I actually tried it with snap on fedora some time ago (maybe a year or two) and it did not work. I guess snap is cross platform as long as the platform is ubuntu, kind of like .net in that.

  I've used it for a bit on Manjaro through snap, it worked for me. However, when I launched it, it did not clearly warn me about the kernel modules I needed to install in order to get it to work, which was a pain. The errors were kind of vague so it took me a while to see that I needed some DKMS modules to make it work.

  That was true for old .net, but I have successfully run .net core apps on Linux and to my greatest amazement it worked the first time (granted I waited .net core 3 to test it, so all the bugs have been ironed out).

    Yeah that is fair, .net is actually not really that bad these days with .net core and mono. Microsoft is making an effort which is paying off and I can fault them for many things but not really that so much.

I just commented about this. Disappointed as well. Is there a GitHub repo for building from source?
