• Mercedes-Benz previews its operating system MB.OS

  Is this using Jolla's Android AppSupport? https://jolla.com/ I use a Sailfish OS phone and it works amazingly well. I know they have been pushing hard into the auto industry after pulling out of Russia because of the war. I would be very pleased if Mercedes is helping fund Jolla. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Jolla.com down?

  Anybody got any intel on why jolla.com is down? I purchased the Sailfish OS licence for Xperia 10 ii but the links to installing instructions are nowhere to be found. Source: almost 2 years ago

• The Deceptive PR Behind Apple’s “Expanded Protections for Children”

  There was one but people wouldn't "put their money where their mouth is". The Jolla phone was made by ex-MeeGo/Maemo devs from Nokia, but nobody bought them. Now they're focusing on just the OS and they don't make any full fledged devices: https://jolla.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• On Apple's “Expanded Protections for Children” - A Personal Story

  Sailfish OS is mobile Linux and can run on smartphones. I didn't personally use it but the website claims to in on the Sony Xperia 10 II from 2020. It costs $50, though. https://jolla.com. - Source: Hacker News / 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
