That headline got me really excited before I realized they meant “in an app”.
Spanish BQ manufacturer sold Ubuntu phones a while ago. I had one, and it felt great. Unfortunately the phone itself (the screen in particular) was pretty low quality, and the customer support not qualitative enough. Mine broke just by sitting in the couch with it in my pocket. That was a huge lost opportunity.
yeah you should have hurled it at a fascist.
It's just virtualization, the same way you would run a Debian VM under Windows or whatever.
yeah, but being able to replace Android would have been nice.
Why would you want to not use Android? Can't you just de-google your android if that's your concern? Android is made for mobile devices.
Feels backwards and you're still not fully in control.
How are you not fully in control when running a foss rom? The only thing you can't do (easily) is run a different Linux kernel due to drivers
The only phones that support it are either old or niche, I love my Google Pixel 9 and I would rather not give it up (I also love GraphineOS)
because of docker, smb over tailscale, and a general lack of convenience associated with android's settings.
