Shelter VS redroid-doc

After a while you just say "dang it, will not allow this anymore" and take the high road. If you are using one device for all purposes but need those paid and proprietary apps installed, consider running them within a different profile. There is a good floss app for that called [Shelter](https://gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/Shelter) because on vanilla android this feature might not be possible for your phone (on Pixel phones for example android offers to use Google Work Profile but you need a special account for that). Shelter can create a work profile on your phone, you can install programs within your different profile. This might help a bit :)

Shelter (version 427): Shelter is a Free and Open-Source (FOSS) app that leverages the "Work Profile" feature of Android to provide an isolated space that you can install or clone apps into.

You can get Shelter at F-Droid https://www.f-droid.org/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/ Or Github (Github package is outdated) https://github.com/PeterCxy/Shelter/releases/tag/1.6

Download app-release.apk https://github.com/PeterCxy/Shelter/releases

For Android you don't even need to change your OS. You can install Shelter and use it to isolate the app.

There are Apps like Island, Shelter and Insular that allow you to (ab-)use these work profiles to provide sandboxed environments for specific apps, including the ability to have a separate instance of an app in each work profile sandbox.

Apps Isolated via Shelter for full privacy

If you are on an android phone what supports shelter[1], I can recommend installing "social" apps inside the shelter, and just sleep the apps when you don't use them.

In regards to windows, it feels to me as morphing into a solution for large corporations if disregarding the tabloid news while leaving private users just waiting for a friendly OS to be presented for them.

I've been trying to install ReDroid following this guide (replacing docker with podman) but the container gives only the following output:

Hmm, again

The building insturction is here. You have to manually build a ReDroid image with Gapps...It took me 7 hours and thank god now Gapps is working.

I would say redroid is better. docker-android seems to be something geared towards developers.

Might want to check out ReDroid

Any Linux distro + Android in a container solution(Example)(recommended)

don't test me in vice versa

And even better Android is a Linux too, and can run inside containers(*like separate operating systems from the same families sharing the same kernel) in every Linux distros you could find, for example Chrome OS' Android container, Anbox, Waydroid, Redroid benefits from that.

4- Android is a Linux distribution, basically same kernel can run both GNU userland of Chrome OS and Bionic Libc/ART userland of Android, without needing much resources, this is called containerization. It is nothing new, any regular GNU/Linux distro can run Android containers, Redroid for example.
