Windows only isn't still 90% market share because of Wine, then Proton.
- ocdtrekkie 1mo agoNeither Wine nor Proton run on Windows. Building Android emulators for Linux: Worth your time. Building Android knockoffs which claim to remove the Google from Google's operating system? Foolishness.
- mitxela 1mo agoReactOS was also a good idea.
- wwiinn 29d agoA lot of react os helped wine/proton. It’s still was a good idea.
- xmprt 1mo agoValve is working on supporting apks for their new VR operating system. If this goes anything like Proton then I'm hopeful for the future of Android without Google.
- pjmlp 1mo agoGamedevs would still target Android, just like they target Windows, letting Valve run after them. Android is even more of tragedy, given how all relevant NDK game development APIs are also available on GNU/Linux.
- mitxela 1mo agoReimplementing Windows was a huge task. If the windows source code was available, why wouldn't you begin with a copy-paste?
- pjmlp 1mo agoMore like thanks to Apple, in what concerns desktop computing.
