- Microsoft ending support for Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)
- WSA designed to run Android apps from Amazon Appstore on Windows 11
- Support for WSA will end on March 5, 2025; no impact on Windows Subsystem for Linux.
If they hadn’t locked into amazon appstore, I feel like they could have made it work.
Either cough up money for Playstore or better yet just make windows store compatible with android and easier to use.
I mean, Waydroid works fine with Aurorastore and even Playstore. Sure that may break, but all that capitalist “we buy licenses” BS of course costs money
Was it ever actually supported? I was waiting for it to be ready to switch to Windows 11 since android emulators are all extremely heavy, I just remember it being on a preview version.
It worked well. But only with Amazon AppStore apps, so nothing useful
Nice, I actually used this to make a nice time of reading manga and comics on my surface with tachiyomi. Now I have to find a different workflow.
Psssst, come to the side of the funny penguins.
I recommend a silverblue-surface image from ublue.it
Lmao just another thing Linux does better anyway.
What’s the easiest way to run Android apps on Linux?
Waydroid or run Bliss OS in a VM.
I’ve been using BlueStacks. How do those compare to BlueStacks?
I’m guessing at the very least they have less ads than blue stacks, lol.
Bluestacks is full of Ads and junk. But it has actual additions to make it work with a keyboard. Waydroid wasnt able to register multi-input for me, which makes basically any game unplayable.
But the android app smart autoclicker is the perfect replacement for bluestacks things.
BlissOS Zenith didnt boot for me poorly, and other versions are slightly outdated. But I will try another one.
Waydroidnruns a rootful LXD container I think, which is not isolated at all. An OCI image ran through Podman would be way better.
