vitriol 

Dear software developers:

If you ever do this bullshit, I will hunt you down and gouge your eyes and cut your hands off so you can't ever fucking develop software again.

Lots of hate,

A pissed off linux user

I'm gonna make an assumption about what's going on here and assume it's probably the same issue I had with VSee during my first appointment with my psychiatrist: It sees linux in the user agent and assumes your on Android. Please, if you work somewhere that develops software, you don't need to make your app for Linux, but please:
A) don't assume android from a linux UA
B) assume someone knows what they're doing when they try to download your software anyways.

By the way, anyone know of any other ways to run android apps on linux? I want to run Genshin, but I can't use wine because kernel mode anti-cheat spyware, anbox won't work for some reason, and bluestacks also needs a driver, so using that through wine is also a no-go. Any other ideas?

Or, hell, if anyone might have any idea why anbox is giving me a "Failed to start session manager instance via dbus" error, please do let me know. I'm on Arch using the anbox-git package from the AUR, if that helps.

Oh, also, I tried qemu-android-x86, but I have no clue how to make that work. The serial terminal shows that it's apparently booting, but the actual video output shows nothing.

I guess my next try is gonna be trying to use Bliss or some other Android x86 through QEMU manually, though I don't know if either support ARM-only apps, and I'm willing to be Genshin is ARM-only.

Okay, current status is that I've (re)installed VMWare and have a Windows VM with 3 cores, 8 gigs of RAM and 2 gigs of VRAM. 3D acceleration fuck us a lot of stuff, but it can run 3D apps at reasonable framerate. I'll have to tweak with it some more tomorrow, but it may be my best solution.
