Android emulation in danger? Good for Linux? (lemmy.zip)

I’m sure we’ve all seen the posts about the upcoming developer changes on Android and the panic about it affecting emulation. I’m curious if I’m the only person who’s tentatively thrilled that this might make Linux the better choice for high end handhelds. I prefer Linux on an ideological and ease of setup and use. My biggest complaint is of course battery drain. But if this gets more eyes on Linux I’m curious if something like Rocknix will have better sleep function on handhelds like the Odin. Just thinking that this could be the silver lining of all this

For sure, I’ve done all the purchasing so you don’t have to lol

P.s. if you’re getting a smart pro, I recommend getting like a silicone case as it has a heat sink and the back can get uncomfortably warm imo
