@thelinuxEXP @snazzyq I’m Apple ecosystem first but Linux curious (trying to get airplay on a record player and as what got me playing with raspberry pi’s). Is there a Linux distro that has stable android app support? I’ve had trouble getting Anbox working on my Pi’s. I just need a few mainstream apps that are elusive on Linux

@MurphysLawKY Maybe try Waydroid. Yes it is Wayland only but Wayland will be the standard none the less.

@gelbphoenix I’ll give it a try. Full android integration with Linux would be a huge gap filler for greater Linux adoption.

@MurphysLawKY Maybe... But it will be hard regarding that even Microsoft had to shut down their advertised Windows Subsystem for Android.

@gelbphoenix for what it’s worth android forked off of Linux so there’s some compatibility there.

@MurphysLawKY Not really...

Yes the Android Kernel is based on the Linux LTS kernel versions but these forks have been patched to include the java based Android runtime and other Android relevant patches.

@gelbphoenix maybe an AOSP distro with Linux on top of it is a project worth pursuing?

@MurphysLawKY I don't know... Giving the fact that even ChromeOS moves away from their Linux base to a system with the Android kernel (with that also discontinueing ChromeOS Flex) I don't see anybody really moving or creating a stable or in a way relevant distro with a serious Android integration.
