No idea why it's difficult to run android on PC in the first place. Windows 11 can do it, but I'm clinging to 10 until it's gone.
Have you heard the good news about Linux?
Every. Fucking. Thread.
"Hey instead of complaining about a few minor annoyances on Windows, why not just switch to Linux?"
Like I have many uses for Linux and appreciate it, but the amount of suggestions that I see telling someone that Linux is the fix is way too many
The point here is that MS made a pretty killer feature that was easy to set up, and it failed because nobody used it.
In the end you are still at the mercy of their shareholders and their core mission of EEE over end-user empowerment. Every thing they build is designed with lock-in and obfuscation to protect themselves.
I fear becoming that guy, can you call me out if I do? Cheers.
Not a priority for Microsoft anymore.

Still pisses me off, this was one of the reasons I updated and they half-assed the implemenation then said they're killing it because no one is using it... no shit no one is using it, you hid it it behind the Amazon App (that no one uses) in the MS Store (that no one uses) and layers of docs for sideloading.
It's been around in one form or another since the Windows Phone 10 days, it was a weird beta that would sometimes work and required a lot of faffing about.
