Very interesting news. I haven’t tried it out personally; But if it works, I imagine that’d be huge.
This interests me greatly. I would like to try this on a device, but I don’t have an extra I can spare to do so.
Put it on your phone. It runs inside a container, so on top of stock android. All your normal phone stuff is still there and running. Worth noting android has good support for mouse and keyboard.
Edit: user below pointed out that this does not appear to be an app, which kinda makes it a weird choice? Seems like there are still better solutions like Userland, Andronix, and LinuxDeploy

In this specific github entry it mentions flashing, and with my setup, I would prefer not to flash something onto my phone without some sort of backup.
Unless there is a userland app I can install that I seem to be missing.
Yeah, I seem to have believed the title of the article before reading the article for some reason. My bad.
Oh thats cool. Theres a similar one that lets you run dos.
This pretty much opens the door for Proton on mobile I guess?
No, sadly, unless you have an amd64 phone, which would honestly be weird at this point.
-guy who spent to long trying to get Linux Dwarf Fortress running on an ARM tablet not a month ago.
It’s likely you could use winlator to play the windows version of the game (I know, not quite the same, although it does run wine via a linux container lmao)
That’s why I prefer to distribute programs as .wasm files. Efficiently run code on any hardware.
It would be great if publishers started doing this, however, this way you cannot sell Skyrim or/and gta5 *th time in a row
Proton on mobiles already exists Check out Box64Droid
Interesting, I think I’ll try it in waydroid
So it’s windows emulating linux emulating android emulating linux?
I’m interested to hear how that works out for you
