It’s less secure, but the host<->guest seperation is there.

what does Ubuntu touch have to do with this? I explicitly refered to the greater ax86 ecosystem.
It’s still really basic, but has loads of potential, Unforunately it has a hard requirement on GTK, otherwise there are a few things that would have been nice for greater AX86 in general, for instance they have mediacodec->vaapi support, something ax86 has… struggled with in the past. but we can’t use it since we can’t use gtk.
it’s worth noting that no actual security problems have been presented that haven’t been dealt with, Sandboxing is available on any distro assuming the tools are made availible. Waydroid supports both apparmor and selinux, please report any security issues and tag the maintainers when doing so.
EDIT: you do need to set apparmor into enforce mode manually though.
correct on both accounts.
Thankfully nested compositor, while not perfect, work really well for most use cases.
You won’t get native multi-window support, because I don’t think there are any nested compositors that work like that. There was a project in the past, but I’m pretty sure it’s dead now. However, if you looking for something like a blue stack, it’s alternative where you’re only trying to play one game at a time, then waydroid with a nested compositor will work fine.
I apologize for the rock writing. I’m using speech 2 text.
I actually recommend using Niri lately. It’s not super great, but it does support multi-touch, which is major.
I hope cosmic supports it at some point because cosmic actually supports operating in kiosk mode, and also uses smithay.
There are good amount of applications that are only armed. Google actually might be getting an open source arm to x86 emulator/native bridge.
If they do, then waydroid can include translation directly, but as it stands, there are no open source translators, so it’s not something waydroid can ship.
ofc I do, that is why I explicitly mentioned the features I was talking about…
it was forked a while ago now though so the code bases can be quite different.
very exciting indeed. can’t wait to try it out when federated tickets and PRs are a thing.
Was this the git hosting service that wanted to have things like federated (in this case im talking about cross instance) cloning, searching and issue hosting?
I may be mistaken in general but iirc there was a hosting service like this that I found super interesting, especially in light of things like DMCA abuse against projects hosted on github and gitlab.
EDIT: seems like it is one of two, forgefed is a protocol it will use, activitypub one, very interesting.
My name is Linus torvalds and this is why I TempleOS…
correct, or rather more specifically virtio-wl is a serialization protocol for wayland. You need a specific compositor that implements virtio-wl see https://github.com/talex5/wayland-proxy-virtwl and https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform2/+/HEAD/vm_tools/sommelier/README.md
The ideal thing I would like to see is each application working as it’s own window, This should be possible with A12 since they allowed multiple app instances. Though multiple app windows introduced in I think A9 would also be usable for this.
Chroot = change root, and needs root to do so. Doing anything as root is insecure. escaping a chroot really isn’t all that hard. The second you elevate privledges, you need extra steps to to become secure. Chroot almost never involves any of these steps (though there is some selinux stuff you could do.)
This is an old example, but still a valid one https://github.com/earthquake/chw00t
yeah, like virtio-wl which chromium supports…
sure, but if 90% of the stuff work work, voip, and it seems to be using crosvm for avf, so those capabilities could be passed through.
wayland support, the protocol?
not doubtful, a lot of compositors, kwin included can run nested.
ah my bad, I had thought I made it clear, I mean the greater android x86, Blisslabs projects like Bliss OS and waydroid, other projects like WSL2, tho that is dead… some chromeOS stuff too.
