why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

the one thing linux really hasnt been made on par with winblows yet is the dreadful amount of options for android simulation -the most popular choice seems to be Waydroid, but its such an unneeded hassle to set up at all -genymotion is just slow -and than you have things like android x86 which entirely defeat the point of an...

Mandy,

android studio is painfully slow and has not exactly a friendly userinterface (its been a couple of years)

Mandy,

installing some random kernel that has the modules waydroid needs watching what gpu you have, which changes the instructions a little and even than its pure luck if waydroid even manages to use these binders

id call that a hassle

Mandy,

“when it works, it works” sure, lucky you than i suppose

Mandy,

YES THANK YOU i always feel like im alone in wanting an easy to use solution like this

Mandy,

at least you can code lol

Mandy,

well, the fact you can code is better thna a whole lot of folk if you ask me

Mandy,

zen doesnt work with endeavouros at all, never loaded (tried it less than an hour ago) and you either need to use a tiling wm, or gnome/kde neither of which i would do willingly

Mandy,

not unusual that you claim it works for everyone but me, its neither the first nor the last time

you are merely supporting what i said that it barely works for anything but tiling vms and some few select DEs, if you can even call wayfire that and i would very much like to avoid tilingvms at all costs, id like to use something more, well, usable

Mandy,

and genymotion barely lets you install anything due to it using the wrong architecture

Mandy,

I dont? Like i said, mainly tiling AND a select view graphical enviroments,

Gnome i find entirely unusable,

and enlightement just takes apples infuriating design choices,

And those, for me, are quite the limited selections to make it work

Edit: if it where to workwith a for me much more to use de like cinnamon or xfce, than id be more inclined to properly dive into it

Mandy,

I have no idea what you just said, nested compositor? Cage?,

But thats myoriginal point,

This makes it defacto unusable for people who dont want a hackerman solution, or jumping through hoops you have to research

Imagine telling that to a total newbie now who just wants their apps on linux like nox or bluestacks do

Mandy,

and there we are again, thats where it so often ends up on linux doesnt it? "it works for me so " or, as i like to interpret it “it works for me so there is no need to make it easier”

i have absolutely nothing against you, truly, but this is the exact same point i have seen repeated ad nauseam for so many different problems exclusive to linux

just because difficult works for some people, doesnt mean i shouldnt be allowed to complain about the fact there is no easier option

Mandy,

docker huh? i might try that one out, keep me updated on how its going for you if you dont mind

Mandy,

just tried it, not only doe it run in a browser , it runs like absolute ass, can barely open chrome, and the interface around the interactable window is genuinely bad

Mandy,

blendos sounds nice and all but its claim of being able to install any package from any distro just sounds like a nightmare to maintain, there have to be issues coming from this right?

could you perhaps sell that distro to me?

Mandy,

you can make a lot of stuff work with all the work you want

but some people are crazy enough they like to have it a little easier you know, linux doesnt always have to be about making things work

Mandy,

i dont think thats not how you sell and the 20 seconds i spend on looking distrobox up, it seems to be terminal only, for something as important and big as a distro in a distro, terminal only seems a ltitle to “KISS” for me

and if waydroid doesnt even work unless you do some serious hackerman stuff, how am i supposed to make distrobox work for android?

does blendos solve the arm problem for apps at all?

Mandy,

its not about doing one extra step, its about a continuous flow of them, its like jumping through hoops with each subsequent one getting smaller each time, one or two extra steps? fine, whatever, but having to literally troubleshoot each step cause nobody bothered to make it work properly? thats a little much

ill end it here, cause you dont seem to want to understand the plight of a person that doesnt wanna spend an hour troubleshooting something that should just work at least a little easier

Mandy,

as far as i could find out the app i tried to run needs an arm environment (dont quote me on that cause im not a rocket scientist), so waydroid is out of the window now too

Mandy,

before waydroid, there was indeed anbox, and it worked even less cause i never got it to install in the first place lol

Mandy,

endeavor was the least trouble i ever had in regard of never having any hassle, i had to jump through far more hoops trying to get certain things working in say…linux mint, than i ever had with endeavouros it makes arch actually usable instead of a nightmare to install

i just have to type 3 letters and it updates everything, no hassle, speedy and actually easy (for once)

thanks for the arch wiki link but 3 out of 4 times i have to force myself to use it, i eventually give up and search for the proper answer somewhere else cause i dont want to read the entire history of binary to understand it

Mandy,

anbox is basically dead and its now all about waydroid so

Mandy,

speaking of here we are again im the outlier and it must be my setup

this is neither the first nor the last time ill hear that one

Mandy,

ill never use telegram again, especially if i need to make an account again, and the few times i actually posted on github it felt so stuffy and crummy like you needed to be extremely careful about every single word you say

if you really wanted to fix something, make waydroid easier to use and most importantly, work regardless of desktop environment

the other thing that needs fixing is the linux mentalityyou cant always point your finger at the user, sometimes, and heres the kicker, its not the user when certain programs cant even run on a stock distro that literally just got installed, like the whim of the code gods are rolling a dice, ill call bullhog on the “its the user” mentality

TIL that after psychologist Timothy Leary was sentenced to prison, he had to take a test that he himself created. He used his knowledge to be assigned to a lower-security prison and escaped. (en.wikipedia.org)

On January 21, 1970, Leary received a ten-year sentence for his 1968 offense, with a further ten added later while in custody for a prior arrest in 1965, for a total of 20 years to be served consecutively. On his arrival in prison, he was given psychological tests used to assign inmates to appropriate work details. Having...

Mandy,

may i introduce you to this man en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshie_Shiratori?useskin=ve…, man escaped prison 4 times and the last time was from a room designed to solely keep him in prison
