why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?

Mandy@beehaw.org to Linux@lemmy.ml – 121 points –

the one thing linux really hasnt been made on par with winblows yet is the dreadful amount of options for android simulation -the most popular choice seems to be Waydroid, but its such an unneeded hassle to set up at all -genymotion is just slow -and than you have things like android x86 which entirely defeat the point of an emulator

I’ve been meaning to try this:

https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android

That's a pretty sketchy project with a lot of paywalling and data collection

docker huh? i might try that one out, keep me updated on how its going for you if you dont mind

just tried it, not only doe it run in a browser , it runs like absolute ass, can barely open chrome, and the interface around the interactable window is genuinely bad
