chromebrew VS redroid-doc

With Chromebrew we just implemented a global manifest of package filelists. Everything is a flat file. You can browse ours here: https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew/tree/master/manifest

TO OP: try something called https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew

Hmm

Apparently works on a vanilla Chromebook, no Crouton or Crostini, but must be in developer mode as stated here: https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew

Have you tried chromebrew. Unlike crouton it seems to be in active development.

Because it's not intended that ChromeOS users should need to modify the base operating system (e.g. to install software), it doesn't come with a package manager like apt or emerge. (However, you can install one if you want using something like Chromebrew* or Crouton*.)

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.
