RemixOS : Android based for PCs
-
If it helps, the WookieTab is dual boot - Win10 and Android, and I don't use the Android side at all, because the screen is so big that it make you feel like you are in the Remedial Class since all apps are full screen ... it actually feels worse to use familiar apps like that than it does to use the UWP apps in Win10. And that takes some doing! So Android on a pair of 22" monitors? Not sure that's going to work.

Very interesting. I'll check it out.
If it helps, I posted a quick review of it this morning: Take three tablets and call me in the morning - the Chuwi Hi12[^]

But you got a dual-boot up and running with no problem, it seems? I'm assuming Boom Beach is a Google Play / Android game? Sounds interesting.

Yeah the installation went without a hitch.

Yes it's in the Play Store. If you haven't played Boom Beach, DON'T!!! If you play it and like it, you will curse me for all eternity for getting you addicted to it. Just saying. You have been warned.
You can't win. You can't break even. You can't quit. You're welcome.

Don't be ridiculous! Remember how much invective I got for complaining about the same thing with win 8? You must be wrong, because those who attacked me for my rational complaints can't be.

Has anyone tried RemixOS the Android-based OS on a PC? It's free. Looks really interesting. Remix OS is Android PC. Re-imagining mobile. Redefining PC.[^] I found it while reading the Linux Distros entry on Wikipedia.
If I'm not mistaken, my experience with RemixOS was limited to: - Install in Hyper-V - Reboot - No mouse, navigation by keyboard only - Google doesn't return anything relevant - Deleted and never looked back So if you get it to work, let me know how you managed that. I think I had a similar experience with the later versions of Android x86 (earlier versions worked fine, but the latest are badly broken under Hyper-V). No way I'm dedicating a physical machine for this.

"Android-based OS on a PC" I fail to see the point. All I see is bull*hit: Re-imagining mobile, Redefining PC. And then they claim this: We've benchmarked Remix OS for PC’s performance against some of the best alternatives in the business. And quite honestly, nothing comes remotely close. This means your favorite games will not only look bigger on a PC screen, they will also perform better than ever. Yeeeah, riiight!

It must have been you I read a post from a few weeks ago about a "WookieTab". Got me so curious that I searched and found about Chuwi and the Windows 10/Android dual boot, I needed to order one and now I've got it, the 10" version with the clipon keyboard. Love it, Windows 10 runs well enough on Atom x5 with 4GB RAM, but Android flies like crazy with that much RAM. Battery life acceptable but not extraordinary. Thanks buddy, you made me spend money and well spent :-)

Yeah, my Hi12 is damn good as well! I just installed Corel Paintshop Pro X8 on it, and was surprised at how well it works - with VS2017 due out next week, it'll be interesting to see how well that runs on it.

I understand and that makes sense. I'm just looking for a small OS to run on an old unused laptop with 3GB ram and an old celeron processor. I believe their might be a chromeOS version I could try also. Not sure.

Where can you find WookieTab? I did a search and came up short.

Try a search for Chuwi Hi12 - it's a poor attempt at a Star Wars pun to call it the WookieTab. I believe you can get it through Amazon.com, as well as direct from China. They also do a 10 inch version, as well as a brand-spanking-new 13 inch 3K retina display.

It is bloody brilliant, isn't it? I'm keeping a close watch on everything Chuwi does, because I don't want to miss anything.
