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?
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.
Lmfao
In VM on FreeBSD ofc, right?
Using proton to play cyberpunk 2077
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
This interests me greatly. I would like to try this on a device, but I don’t have an extra I can spare to do so.
Put it on your phone. It runs inside a container, so on top of stock android. All your normal phone stuff is still there and running. Worth noting android has good support for mouse and keyboard.
Edit: user below pointed out that this does not appear to be an app, which kinda makes it a weird choice? Seems like there are still better solutions like Userland, Andronix, and LinuxDeploy

In this specific github entry it mentions flashing, and with my setup, I would prefer not to flash something onto my phone without some sort of backup.
Unless there is a userland app I can install that I seem to be missing.
Yeah, I seem to have believed the title of the article before reading the article for some reason. My bad.
All good!
This pretty much opens the door for Proton on mobile I guess?
No, sadly, unless you have an amd64 phone, which would honestly be weird at this point.
-guy who spent to long trying to get Linux Dwarf Fortress running on an ARM tablet not a month ago.
Emulation time it is!
Box64 might be worth checking out. I didn’t get much out of it but your mileage may vary.
It’s likely you could use winlator to play the windows version of the game (I know, not quite the same, although it does run wine via a linux container lmao)
You can, it’s crashy.
Proton on mobiles already exists Check out Box64Droid
Oh thats cool. Theres a similar one that lets you run dos.
hey i heard you like linux so here’s linux running inside of linux
