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.

Certifying isn't too bad, I've done it 7 of 8 times now probably because I keep nuking my machines
Why do you need a compatibility layer? It runs x86 lineageos doesn't it?
There are good amount of applications that are only armed. Google actually might be getting an open source arm to x86 emulator/native bridge.
If they do, then waydroid can include translation directly, but as it stands, there are no open source translators, so it's not something waydroid can ship.
Yup, pretty much that. I really hope an open source ARM to x86 translation layer will be developed in the future, right now you have to install one of them (libhoudini or libndk) separately.
