#2This is amazing. Great job!

#3Hmm. That's really handy at dealing with "download and use app to save %"
Sure. I'll make a VM, do the bullshit app, and pop the vm.

#4Anbox is a great idea but it needs a lot of work to become a usable project. Currently, it's only available on a few distros, and app installation instructions are nowhere to be found.

Or do you mean for installing Android apps?

If there's no virtualization though then you'd need to find an x86 copy of the app right?

Hopefully in the future it loses its dependency on systemd as well.

Most Android apps are just JVM bytecode and work on any architecture. Apps using the NDK (native development kit) are architecture-specific and often lack x86 binaries but ecommerce apps are highly unlikely to use the NDK.

Huh, I feel like I used to get tons of "app X wants to load binary Y.so" notifications with XPrivacy for quite a few apps... is it really that rare?
