Windows 11 delenda est. Also inb4 "don't".
I feel like bluestacks used to be better but it gives off weird scuffed fremium windows software stink now. What's the best way to run Android apps on an x86-64 computer?
Windows Subsystem for Android.
Or is it Android Subsystem for Windows?Android apps appear to run natively on Windows (so they're not in a VM looking box, they behave like Windows apps). They don't have access to the local file system, they have access to their own file system, just like using a phone.
The easiest way to move files in/out is to use a file manager that can access SMB shares (like MiXplorer), or use Syncthing on the desktop and in the Subsystem, and sync a folder on the desktop.
What's that mean?
If you want help in some other language, maybe post in that language.
You posted in English, with some non English in there, I have no idea wtfuck it is, so I ignore it.
I gave you a solid answer, with a link, why you gotta be a dick?
Think you're talking past each other: [thing] delenda est is common parlance here on Hexbear as a general term of disparagement (comes from Carthago delenda est), so by putting that in the post OP was indicating she didn't want any solutions that require Windows 11.
That being said, apparently there are ways to get WSA to work on Windows 10: see WSAPatch and the script mentioned here which purports to automate a lot of the WSAPatch steps. I can't vouch for them at all, so do your due diligence and all that before proceeding.
edit: also apparently Microsoft is discontinuing support for WSA in six months. Thanks, Microsoft, very cool!
WSApatch sounds absolutely awesome, thanks a load. I would like to use Android apps most on my W10 convertible laptop, so this is perfect ✨
Op could have just said what OS they actually have. Which is kinda the most important thing.
A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.
Angloids, seriously.
Two secomds on any search engine will tell you what "delenda est" means, it isn't even an uncommon phrase. "Carthago delenda est"? Sheesh.
But seriously who uses W11 unironically...
I wish I used any Wayland based DE because of this
why it gotta be this wayI use KDE and XFCE usually, is what's stopping me. Am I gonna install an entire new OS for a single application? Or DE I guess, but I tried installing Wayland on Endeavour once and it kind of exploded.
You definitely dont need a new os or distro.
I dont know endevour specifically, but xfce and kde look like they fully support wayland.
Looks to be as simple as installing plasma-wayland-session then log out and you should have an option in your login manager to swap over to the wayland version of plasma. Xfce should be similar. If its fucked, just log back out and log in with xorg and go about your business.
Dunno, just trying to help
Oh yeah I did that once, it broke my OS, I recall that. Somewhere at the login manager.
Thanks anyway, at least I know the answer is the same as two years ago
When did you try Wayland? It's pretty good now since KDE Plasma 6.1 (even on Nvidia).
Less than a year ago, I just used one of my random sloptops with an *ntel Core 2 Duo but it broke the install of Endeavour. Maybe I did something wrong...
waydroid works great on aarch64 IME but never actually tried it on x86
It's Waydroid. Since your current setup doesn't have Wayland, you could always try setting up a VM with a distro that has Wayland or even Waydroid already installed like VanillaOS.
Can confirm waydroid works fine.
Also i dont know what its running under the hood, but i just installed minecraft bedrock launcher flatpak on my steamdeck. Which runs the android version.
Waydroid can be sorta annoying to set up, id suggest not taking any shortcuts and install the base waydroid package then following the instructions on archwiki or whatever to manually install the appropriate container (gapps etc) rather than using the container package from your distro.
I havent set this up in probably over a year so between my foggy memory and potential changes, take this as you will
