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

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.
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
Lmfao
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
Using proton to play cyberpunk 2077
hey i heard you like linux so here’s linux running inside of linux
You can already do that with termux-proot and termux-x11
HW Accel?
Yes, you can make it work on snapdragon devices (dont know about Exeynos or other)
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.
That’s why I prefer to distribute programs as .wasm files. Efficiently run code on any hardware.
It would be great if publishers started doing this, however, this way you cannot sell Skyrim or/and gta5 *th time in a row
you could start with FOSS software.
