Very interesting news. I haven't tried it out personally; But if it works, I imagine that'd be huge.

Interesting, I think I’ll try it in waydroid

So you're going to emulate Linux in an Android emulator on Linux?

[–] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 45 points 9 months ago (3 children)

No, I’m using waydroid in wsl

So it's windows emulating linux emulating android emulating linux?

I'm interested to hear how that works out for you

The WSL part was just a joke, but I do sometimes test apps on waydroid as I am using an IPhone currently and I want to switch, so for that I try apps on waydroid so I can easily replace IOS exclusive apps when I make the switch.

You should go another level deeper, VirtualBox > Windows > WSL > Waydroid > Lindroid

In VM on FreeBSD ofc, right?

No no, it’s Linux on Android on Linux via waydroid in WSL in the Mac version of virtual box running via darling running on FreeBSD via LinuxJails
