i want to install anbox (run android on linux), and it has modules that are required to be installed in the kernel (chamem? ) using dkms: first hurdle was that my ubuntu had a kernel version beyond 5.6, so it doesn’t allow any modification, then learned that i could boot with 5.19 at startup, but still, i got another error that compiler used (gcc) is of different version than the one used with the kernel. all i wanted is to install anbox 😭😭
well according to my simple serf beliefs, i thought that arch would allow more kernel tinkering, maybe thats why it was popular among certain groups, and jokes aside: if i am obliged to learn cui instead of gui, i might as well learn it the solid way (i am still novice at linux, and arch seems kinda intimidating) guess i ll start using arch, idk if it uses different comands other than sudo and so forth…although its still linux, but the documentation is really helpful, also again: i really appreciate ur help. i ll check waydroid instead.

I used waydroid on Fedora and everything works fine
i ll give it a look, thx
Wut?
One of the best qualities of Arch and other Arch based distros, the ability to use the archwiki.
It can be helpful when using other distros too but on Arch it’s exactly the docs your supposed to use.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Anbox
From that wiki it says: Note: As of February 2023, Anbox is no longer actively developed. The developer recommended Waydroid as an alternative.

Android is running on Linux.
