These artifial limitations and heavy handed approach from MS are only encouraging me to delay even more. Similarly, proper transparecy for the new Windows Terminal is gated behind windows 11. It makes me never want to use terminal even though it's available.
This is working as well as it does on Windows 11. Root access with magisk is working as intended and I set up Play services and the subsystem was able to successfully log in. There is hardware accelerated x264 playback, I was able to play 1080p youtube with very few problems. The playback occasionally stutters and the youtube player itself occasionally crashes, but that feels unrelated to the underlying ability to playback video. Graphics happen via "Subsystem OpenGL ES Translator" because this is effectively virtualized. Graphics performance on my rtx 2070 (laptop) are buttery smooth, but interfacing with a touch only UI with software mapping is weird at times.
I have no issues with storage or sideloading. The only part where I had to take steps outside of the standard guide was to reinstall a specific appx and manually register a manifest.xml. It looked like it was working without this step but then wouldn't reopen after opening the very first time. I had to enable developer options in both the android system settings and windows subsystem settings, they are two seperate things and I am not sure if they are supposed to sync. Enabling dev options and usb debugging in just android wasn't enough, there was a seperate setting in "windows subsystem for android settings".
Android system storage is a VHDX, I have been unsuccessful trying to mount it. There's no easy way to transfer files back and forth between android and windows. I am not sure if samba will work since it is the same ip. The only other option seems to be ADB.
This has all of the basically all of the downsides of hypervisors. Bluetooth also isn't working.
