This looks promising. Would be cool if we could set a standard Linux DE (like Plasma) as the default homescreen and have it integrate with Android's notifications, apps etc.
The graphics drivers on Android are compiled with Bionic where as most Linux distributions are compiled with glibc. You can't really mix and match them.
Desktop linux apps still need to link to the system graphics driver to get hardware acceleration.

Oh that Is cool especially on a foldable you can run some interesting apps on it. And with wine + fex even more crazy stuff.
Very cool.
> libhybris allows glibc Linux programs to load the standard Android graphics drivers
I don't quite follow why you need that? This runs on a real full Android, so surely drivers already work?

I'm trying to imagine a use case for this, but can't think of anything. Maybe Desktop mode + full/real Linux apps?
This is what the author showed off on Twitter at least, with Desktop chromium I think.
