Very interesting news. I haven’t tried it out personally; But if it works, I imagine that’d be huge.

Yes, you can make it work on snapdragon devices (dont know about Exeynos or other)

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.

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.

I bought a OnePlus 6 rn, apparently one of the devices where you can put Debian on it.

This pretty much opens the door for Proton on mobile I guess?
Baahb@lemmy.world 4 months ago
No, sadly, unless you have an amd64 phone, which would honestly be weird at this point.

That’s why I prefer to distribute programs as .wasm files. Efficiently run code on any hardware.

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)

So you’re going to emulate Linux in an Android emulator on Linux?
