Jim Keller is now working on one. I kind of doubt it will be FOSS, though.

Halium is basically what you’re talking about. It uses the Android HAL to run Linux.

The thing is, that also uses the Android kernel, meaning that there will essentially never be a kernel update since the kernel patches by Qualcomm have a ton of technical debt. The people working on porting mainline Linux to SoCs are essentially rewriting everything from scratch.

There are two solutions for that. One is Waydroid, which is basically what you’re describing. Another is android_translation_layer, which is closer to WINE in that it translates API calls to more native Linux ones, although that project is still in the alpha stages.

You can try both on desktop Linux if you’d like. Just don’t expect to run apps that require passing SafetyNet, like many banking apps.

I’ve been using GMail in K-9 Mail for years. Maybe you’re thinking of OAUTH 2 support?

There’s no “/s”, so I’m assuming that this is a serious comment.

This is going to be the breakthrough moment for RISC-V. Jim Keller is a genius.

Ideally also leave your car at home and take public transit while paying with cash or walk. CCTV and facial recognition are still issues, but you would be reducing your fingerprint a ton.

Not just Google, but the community has been hard at work with porting mainline Linux to phones. postmarketOS is the main OS that devices are initially ported to.

Qualcomm is actually involved with this as well, specifically with Linaro, who does a lot of kernel mainlining for Qualcomm SoCs.

Yes, but DXVK is a very, very good translation layer and is very performant. I can vouch for it as a Linux user who uses it on a regular basis.

Some people even use DXVK to make older games run better on Windows (most notably GTA IV)

FYI, you can run RADV in Windows using an experimental patch: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/29945

IIRC Intel is using DXVK for their drivers on Windows. Not sure if that ever changed.

Sometimes they block that, so you have to do this instead:

me.accountBalance = exploit.infiniteMoneyGlitch();

You only get access to that method if you were born with rich parents, though.

Yes. PipePipe is a fork of NewPipe.

Because GNU dd-rescue exists

Or Mullvad Browser, which is just the Tor Browser without Tor.

There’s also IronFox on Android which is more similar to LibreWolf than MV Browser.

Don’t forget everyone’s favorite massgravel script

“I don’t want to abolish government. I just want to have the ability to abolish the government on a whim. Whether the government just so happens to be abolished or not after that is up to the direction of the wind and whether the sun gets in my eyes.”

Upstream WINE enabled it by default in version 10, so I can’t imagine Valve wanting to strip that out. Knowing Valve, they probably helped out a decent amount with that support.

The Wayland driver wasn’t considered stable in version 9.

You can right now if you use WINE instead of Proton. Just unset the DISPLAY variable with “DISPLAY=”
