waydroid_script VS azurelinux

libhoudini and libndk are libraries that translate ARM instructions to x86. There's an installation script for Waydroid:

It is also worth to install the following tool on: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

You can install 32 bit translation with libhoudini or libndk. Check here for info.

It installed fine using waydroid-skript

Doing these to setup Play Store, libndk arm translation, Widevine, Android ID, etc. And also install Magisk in it.

I managed to make Waydroid able to play Arknights & Blue Archive by doing this tinkering.

If anyone wants to give it a shot, here's what you need - Install Waydroid - If you're on X11, install Weston (Waydroid can only run on Wayland, but Weston will allow you to run Wayland within X11); run Waydroid by starting Weston, then inside the Weston window open a terminal and run waydroid start session from there - Use an android image with Google Apps installed (or install google apps into your image) - Get rid of the "uncertifid device" error through https://www.google.com/android/uncertified - for this you'll need your android id, which you can get using the following command (after submitting your android id to google you'll need to wait 10-20 Minutes for the changes to take effect. You may also need to wipe the cache of the Google Play Services app) echo 'ANDROID_RUNTIME_ROOT=/apex/com.android.runtime sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db "select * from main;"' | sudo waydroid shell | grep android_id - Install ARM instruction translation (libndk) into your android image. The waydroid_script tool helps a lot with this: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

They're even already producing their own Linux distribution, CBL-Mariner, https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux

This became even more interesting as Microsoft started to open source core technology such as Powershell, the DotNET platform, their internal Linux distribution, and much more. All this hosting on GitHub also made sense acquisition wise.

Quite a few servers and network switches, actually.

Likely a recognisable ‘Windows’ GUI on-top of CBL-Mariner

Nothing new. For several years they already developed and maintained CBL-Mariner (Common Build Linux) https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner Which od a base for Azure Linux and other projects.
