From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You could emulate Android on Linux before, now you can also emulate Linux on Android
The circle of libe is compleet
Now the only question is: How deep can you go?
We can also emulate windows on android and WSL obviously on windows.
So we can use Linux to emulate Android, which in turn emulates windows to run WSL
@lemmyreader @cafuneandchill PostmarketOS in chroot in termux in waydroid on PostmarketOS 🤘
well it's not really emulation, if you are familiar with LXC it's that, it's pretty much a super chroot
Technically true, but it's easier to refer to it as emulation
It's also quite wrong.
Oh I like that one. Yoink! Thanks.
I have been running arm32 elf binaries and Xorg on my HTC M8 stock kernel with Android 4. That's not a new thing. Libreoffice and Xfce ran pretty well on that thing.
