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.

I tried Bedrock on Linux, with Waydroid.
https://mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/index.html
Gives a surprisingly good Bedrock experience on Linux and macOS. Just needs you to own the game on the Google Play Store.
Does it work again? I've had very mixed experiences with that. Every update just breaks it..
Its working fine on waydroid for me at the moment, so it's probably not necessary to try set up that. I mostly play Java anyway. Do you know how to install the google play store on Waydroid?
I haven’t used Waydroid in a while, but I recall there being an image you could choose at setup for Google Services.
I used it for a bit, it was surprisingly stable and easy to use. However, I eventually gave up on it because it was much harder to find the source of issues in the system.
With tools like Distrobox now available, I'm not sure how useful this is anymore.
Thanks. Nice. Been meaning to try Bedrock Linux before but figured it could be time consuming. Good that you mention Distrobox. Have played with Distrobox a few times, I like it although with one user the usage of the same files in $HOME was a bit confusing at first.
You can make a separate home folder for the distrobox container if case you don't want to get your main home folder dirty
I tried it but it was too much for me. It's not my thing, but it's a very interesting and very cool project and I have nothing but respect towards the Bedrock Linux team for what they have achieved.
It's interesting, but it always seemed a bit too hacky for my liking and possibly prone to breakage. Eg seeing the compatibility table here doesn't inspire much confidence: https://bedrocklinux.org/0.7/feature-compatibility.html
I also don't like that it hijacks your host distro, it would've be been better if it was a bit more self-contained, like how Nix works on other distros. Feels like the mashup Bedrock does would be a PITA for troubleshooting (for instance, mixing binaries from different distros via $PATH is just asking for trouble). I also dislike that it uses FUSE to share resources between strata, given how inefficient FUSE is.
I think for most purposes, if you really want to mix-and-match distro features, a far cleaner approach would be to just use Distrobox.
What about RockSolid Linux, I mean, Debian?
Yes, it's great. I've ran it on a void linux base, a debian base and an alpine base. Was rock solid each and every time.
Yes, it's fantastic if you need that kind of thing. I used Bedrock for years to have OpenSUSE's patched kde-firefox running on Kubuntu. I never had any issues whatsoever. Very cool project.
Ngl, looks like an interesting and cool project.
No.
I rather stay on java linux
