Google has a much-needed fix to improve the performance of graphical Linux apps on Android. Here's what's changing and why it matters.

      Usual moves from them, you may have trouble installing Linux on an Android PC Because they do not provide drivers for Linux or bootloader is locked.

      And add waydroid to it.

      Or try to run (a fork of) Android x86 in virt-manager.

      (Do NOT use virtualbox, 1) the guest additions are closed-source 2) it’s owned by oracle )
