• Switching to PinePhone for a noob

  It seems it is possible to connect a docking bar to the PinePhone but I cannot find what happens next? Is it possible to show on a screen what is displayed on my phone or is it dual screen or can I choose? I love the concepts behind maruOs but I think the project is dead. Source: about 1 year ago

• Available Today: Windows Dev Kit 2023 a.k.a. Project Volterra

  >> So what exactly are “consumers” clamoring for that are not currently being delivered? Until other choices are available, people tend to accept the default or keep on doing what was done in the past. There is a segment of consumers that would like choices beyond Apple and Google mobile operating systems:... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How can I use my old Android phone as a basic computer?

  Depending on what the model is, you could try Maru https://maruos.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Are any Android ROMs focused on Android's desktop mode?

  I just found MaruOS. It appears to be exactly what I was looking for. They are a little small apparently. They support only Nexus and Pixel phones and one Samsung's device. Hopefully they'll have a bright future. Source: over 2 years ago

• Use phone as desktop computer when linked to a monitor

  So someone in this subreddit told me about Maru OS and that really got me dreaming about using my phone as a desktop computer when connected to a monitor. The Astro Slide with its dual boot capabilities and its two USB-C ports would be ideal for that I think. Source: over 2 years ago

• Call of duty mobile

  It's definitely possible, you have android virtualization options for linux like QEMU, VirtualBox, Anbox, WayDroid, but most of these are either not great or a bit too advanced for this. Easiest / best bet off the top of my head is dual booting Windows and using BlueStacks. Source: about 1 year ago

• I'm looking for a lightweight distro that runs android apps

  This isn't really a distro, but you could try Anbox, which wouldn't have the performance overhead of a virtual machine. Source: over 1 year ago

• I just want to use Linux :(

  If school apps have an android alternative anbox may allow you to use it on your linux desktop... Just a thought! Source: over 1 year ago

• Android Emulator for Linux

  I have used Anbox when I needed to run an Android App on Linux. Source: over 1 year ago

• Minecraft Bedrock

  Does anyone know a way to play Minecraft bedrock on Linux(specifically fedora). I used to use this launcher: mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io, But it has been discontinued and no longer works with the latest version, which I need to be able to play on a friend's real. I've tried using anbox, but it never loaded, and I tried using waydroid, but the internet wasn't working. Don't tell me to just use java, I already do,... Source: over 1 year ago
