the one thing linux really hasnt been made on par with winblows yet is the dreadful amount of options for android simulation -the most popular choice seems to be Waydroid, but its such an unneeded hassle to set up at all -genymotion is just slow -and than you have things like android x86 which entirely defeat the point of an emulator

    It’s just a few distrobox containers. It’s not hard to maintain, and you can do it on your own distro.

      i dont think thats not how you sell and the 20 seconds i spend on looking distrobox up, it seems to be terminal only, for something as important and big as a distro in a distro, terminal only seems a ltitle to “KISS” for me

      and if waydroid doesnt even work unless you do some serious hackerman stuff, how am i supposed to make distrobox work for android?

      does blendos solve the arm problem for apps at all?

        I don’t care about the distro. You can get basically the same thing from Vanilla OS, uBlue, Fedora Silverblue, and many others with just a small amount of configuration.

        You use Distrobox from the terminal, but distrobox export lets you install graphical apps in a Distrobox container but integrate them with the host. BlendOS (and Vanilla OS) just combine it into a package manager. It’s also not “important and big,” it’s just a container—basically just WSL for Linux.

        Distrobox doesn’t work with Android. I was talking about the “install any package from any distro” part. BlendOS just adds in Waydroid support.

        No, it does not. It’s just Waydroid, which IIRC requires x86 apps.
