They have a good plan. Need Linux? Come and use our system. Need Android? We serve that, too. Need Windows for legacy apps? Of course we have that, too. I just hope people don't fall for that.
- dboreham 5y agoAs opposed to falling for what other option?
- encryptluks2 5y agoLinux with Windows VM using vGPU... I'll admit, Anbox or similar could use some work for getting Android apps working smoothly on Linux.
- _piif 5y agoWasn't Intel the only one who offered vGPU technology freely on consumer-grade hardware (I might be a bit out of touch though)? Also from my experience Intel's GVT-g is kind of finnicky and will occasionally just hang up the entire system and require a hard reboot (not even sysrq can save it). Also it's not available on Gen11 iGPUs and Intel doesn't plan to support them unfortunately [0]. > I'll admit, Anbox or similar could use some work for getting Android apps working smoothly on Linux. There's also Waydroid [1] in case you are running Wayland and it has in general been a much more pleasant experience than Anbox for me. Their android image is also based on LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10) as opposed to Anbox's which is still on Android 7 IIRC?
