Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

endeavor was the least trouble i ever had in regard of never having any hassle, i had to jump through far more hoops trying to get certain things working in say…linux mint, than i ever had with endeavouros it makes arch actually usable instead of a nightmare to install

i just have to type 3 letters and it updates everything, no hassle, speedy and actually easy (for once)

thanks for the arch wiki link but 3 out of 4 times i have to force myself to use it, i eventually give up and search for the proper answer somewhere else cause i dont want to read the entire history of binary to understand it

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

before waydroid, there was indeed anbox, and it worked even less cause i never got it to install in the first place lol

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

as far as i could find out the app i tried to run needs an arm environment (dont quote me on that cause im not a rocket scientist), so waydroid is out of the window now too

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

its not about doing one extra step, its about a continuous flow of them, its like jumping through hoops with each subsequent one getting smaller each time, one or two extra steps? fine, whatever, but having to literally troubleshoot each step cause nobody bothered to make it work properly? thats a little much

ill end it here, cause you dont seem to want to understand the plight of a person that doesnt wanna spend an hour troubleshooting something that should just work at least a little easier

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

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?

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

you can make a lot of stuff work with all the work you want

but some people are crazy enough they like to have it a little easier you know, linux doesnt always have to be about making things work

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

blendos sounds nice and all but its claim of being able to install any package from any distro just sounds like a nightmare to maintain, there have to be issues coming from this right?

could you perhaps sell that distro to me?

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

just tried it, not only doe it run in a browser , it runs like absolute ass, can barely open chrome, and the interface around the interactable window is genuinely bad

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

docker huh? i might try that one out, keep me updated on how its going for you if you dont mind

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

and there we are again, thats where it so often ends up on linux doesnt it? "it works for me so " or, as i like to interpret it “it works for me so there is no need to make it easier”

i have absolutely nothing against you, truly, but this is the exact same point i have seen repeated ad nauseam for so many different problems exclusive to linux

just because difficult works for some people, doesnt mean i shouldnt be allowed to complain about the fact there is no easier option

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

I have no idea what you just said, nested compositor? Cage?,

But thats myoriginal point,

This makes it defacto unusable for people who dont want a hackerman solution, or jumping through hoops you have to research

Imagine telling that to a total newbie now who just wants their apps on linux like nox or bluestacks do

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

I dont? Like i said, mainly tiling AND a select view graphical enviroments,

Gnome i find entirely unusable,

and enlightement just takes apples infuriating design choices,

And those, for me, are quite the limited selections to make it work

Edit: if it where to workwith a for me much more to use de like cinnamon or xfce, than id be more inclined to properly dive into it

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

and genymotion barely lets you install anything due to it using the wrong architecture

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

not unusual that you claim it works for everyone but me, its neither the first nor the last time

you are merely supporting what i said that it barely works for anything but tiling vms and some few select DEs, if you can even call wayfire that and i would very much like to avoid tilingvms at all costs, id like to use something more, well, usable

Mandy OP , to linux in why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

zen doesnt work with endeavouros at all, never loaded (tried it less than an hour ago) and you either need to use a tiling wm, or gnome/kde neither of which i would do willingly
