Android emulators work well for some use cases. It is the I am taking Amethyst as it is and using it on Linux whether Vitor wants to, or no approach. Not graceful, or good for wider adoption. Mostly related to hardware issues.
I have issues personally with android emulation. Especially with waydroid. Most of my time is spent in virtual machines or containers. To this day I have yet to quite figure out how to get android apps to run in a Linux VM or container with my hardware. Not using android studio either due to moral conflictions. So I'm still up shits creek without a paddle.
Overall the idea of heading up a Linux version development project is intriguing. I have some software development experience on the side, but more out of passionate hobby and necessity for fixing broken FOSS for work.
Most of my experience is running multi-industry media production, web development, and start up business consultation teams as a CEO (or) Consultant.
I guess a starting point would be to figure out what code from the existing android base can be ported over to Linux? What language would it be coded in? We need to map out a very detailed plan first if this is going to happen. Lots of questions and moving parts involved.
I'm willing to entertain the idea of leading up Linux development and participate in some brainstorming. Prior to commiting to anything. I'd wanna chat with Vitor and anyone else that wants to get involved in a Linux version of Amethyst more. To see if we would all work together well on this project.
