Anbox
Appearance
Consider using native Linux programs instead, see FAQ. |
Development on this feature can be done without running pmOS on a real device with QEMU. |
Anbox currently only works on x86_64. See anbox#1357 for the upstream issue. |
Anbox runs Android apps on Linux by running a trimmed down version of Android in a container. Using Anbox installed would make it possible for a user to have both needed Android applications sandboxed, running alongside of native Linux programs. Having this working can be a major assistant to help people switch from Android to an operating that respects their privacy.
See issue pmaports#17 for current progress.
