Personally, being able to run Android on my laptop is something that strikes me. If everything worked as it should, something that I do not doubt they will achieve in the future, by installing Android on a laptop we could have a kind of tablet compatible with almost all the apps of the Google mobile system. There are already several projects that are launching versions of Android for PC, which have now been joined by a call SPURV, a software that allows you to run Android apps on Linux.
Collabora is the company that this week has been in charge of announce the project. Unlike AndEX Pie or Android-x86, which I have tried and have left me mixed feelings, SPURV is a Android environment for Linux and Wayland designed so that we can run Android apps with 3D acceleration on the same graphical desktop. As its developers say, «Running Android has some advantages compared to native Linux applications, for example in terms of the availability of applications and application developers«.
Collabora presents us with SPURV
Thanks to SPURV, any user using Wayland can run Android applications on their computer. The downside is that, being in the first months of life, at this time there is no simple way to install and run all the software. In this link You have all the necessary information, which basically is to download the AOSP version of Android, a Linux kernel, integrate SPURV to the Android AOSP that we have downloaded and compile both Android and the kernel.
Personally, I look forward to the day when I can run Android applications on Linux in a more simple and functional way. If the option in question does not consume many resources, I would use, for example, the official Twitter app and, why not ?, a game like the one we see in the video (Angry Birds). What would you like to do if you could (easily) run Android on your Linux PC?
I hope Android can be used with laptops soon with the help of Gnu / Linux, here I am an end user, as I would like to support some code.
