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.

    Why run Linux apps on Android when you can run Android apps on Linux?

      To me a temporary solution (which may be many years) where hardware support is real good on Android but terrible on Linux for these phones. In particular the high end chips. On Linux I rarely ever want to use an Android app. On Android it’d be cool to dock my phone and use Linux applications

        What can I say? I’m a freethinker, untethered from lemmy’s “corporations bad” hive mind.

          What does a freethinker think about Google’s recent decision to block access to apps they haven’t approved?

          Crazy thing to think that corporations aren’t bad. Especially Google who has a track record of just breaking shit when they decide they no longer want to be in that market anymore.

        Lemmers can’t stand people being part of a flock. Unless it’s their flock. Don’t you dare to have an opinion here!
