They even have torrent links, idiot. It's completely free: http://www.jide.com/remixos-for-pc#downloadNow

Tried it, it sucks. Few, if any Android apps are keyboard/mouse aware and it just feels really awkward having to "long click" the mouse button.
>>54229093
I don't really like it to be honest and I don't think many people here will either for a couple of reasons:
1. this doesn't seem to have the ricing potential that a lot of people here enjoy (not everyone)
2. can NOT be used for programming, there is no decent (or existant afaik) ide for android, no vim or emacs or visual studio or code::blocks or nothing
3. there aren't many good vidya gaems on android, yes I know there are some good ones but the type of people who want to sit at their computer and play clash of clans or candy crush saga are too young for 4chan
I don't think it's too bad but it's definitely not for the type of people that go on /g/

Already went through being interested, then hyped after reading about it, and finally disappointed at how ugly and unintuitive it actually is.
Maybe someday. I'd like to see android desktops overtake windows.
Nice try Pajeet.
>>54229315
Vim and Emacs can be used in Termux. That said, Termux sucks, so...
Google is about to merge Android and Chrome OS. These devs are idiots. What a wasted venture
>lets make a desktop OS and instead of using actual software we'll use apps designed for $4 Indian phones
Yeah. No thanks.
>>54229541
I didn't know that, but does termux have a cpp compiler?
>>54229564

I'm not sure if i want to switch my Linux distro to a shitty Chinese OS that probably have more spyware than Windows 10

>Android on desktop
>>54229093
Stop shilling this
>>54229600
Yes. But it nonetheless has issues. Namely, Termux has disagreements with most bash scripts, namely with regards to the #! line. /usr doesn't exist on Android, nor does the env program. There's a lot of compatibility issues.
>>54229360
tell me more about chromewm
>>54229928
Huh, good to know, probably won't use the info for anything useful but thanks anyways
>>54230030
Best way to get a good UNIX development environment on Android involves a chroot jail. Consequently, this requires root, which Remix OS lacks.
>>54229093
Can I use it on a VM already?
>>54229093
Looks slightly better than Windows 10, which is nice compared to the usual Loonix distu but still pretty shit compared to OSX.
How's the performance? Software center? Trackpad support? Battery life?
>>54229471
Given it has Office it's already more advances than Linux.
>>54230278
>Given it has Office it's already more advances than Linux.
Android uses the Linux kernel, so Linux is better than itself?
If you mean traditional GNU/Linux distros, those can run the Android version of Office too.
>>54229506
Linux has LibreOffice and it has all the features i would need and some

No thanks, I'll stick to Ubuntu.

>Time to drop your 2001-looking Linux shit and embrace the future, mates.
Not understanding why people choose Linux over OSX.
That said with a bit more progress it could be interesting. I tried it on a dell XT2 and couldn't stand the mouse glitch (it gave me a circle rather than a pointer).
androids apps are garbage on windows and linux you have plenty of decent freeware/free software while on android everything try suck every penny they can.
>marrying yourself to the botnet
Remix OS is pretty horrible simply because no Android update is meant for PC use. I literally stared at the screen wondering what to do and then i just watched YouTube. It's amazing how far reaching Google is to our lives.
>>54229093
>chinese botnet
No thanks

It is truly shit.
Who would want a new fancy desktop Android OS that still uses fucking Xserver, like come on.
Fucking faggots.

Is that microsoft office?
Why haven't this been ported to other distros?
Also why use it if you can use WPS?
>>54233811
That's Office for Android.
It's been around for a while.
>>54229294
The concept is nice, and if enough people started to use it maybe devs will have that in mind.
>>54229315
>ricing
nova launcher
>programing
true, the few editors aren't even worth the time.
>games
agreed, but then again such games are made to be played on the phone.
The only merit I see in this the ability to use android apps, also I can run it on old machines without issues.
Looks like a mix between ChromeOS and Papyros. Meh.
>>54229093
Google is supposed to be making a chrome Android hybrid soon anyway... Just wait for that. I'm sure a bunch of new shit will come out when it hits...laptops, hybrids and maybe a few all in ones. Hopefully this time the OEM's don't cheap out on the specs like the last time they tried this shit.
As for myself it would be nice to upgrade the old reliable slatebook x2... But God forbid anyone make a Android convertible tablet/netbook with specs that don't make me wanna blow chunks. It's too bad too...Android is comfy on a netbook with an Xbox controller.
Two years later and the best options for non windows shit is still stuck in the hell of 2 GB of RAM and fucking tegra 4 and God fucking forbid I expect more than 16-32 GB of storage...
Oh well...between cheap ass manufacturer's and autistic Linux die hards we'll prolly just be stuck in Microsoft hell for eternity.
So none of the advantages of Linux combined with none of the advantages of Windows. Not sure where they are going with this, it sounds like the OS equivalent of Opera.
Thanks for shilling your complete fucking garbage, pajeet

>gee, I love the look of Windows® 10™'s new flat®™ interface, but I sure wish it overlaid on some awful malformed abortion of Java and the Linux Kernel and could only run gimped phone "apps" on my desktop, non touch-optimized device with non of the strengths of any platform it takes "inspiration" from!
Who thought this would be a good idea?
>>54229093
this is the future, i'm afraid
not this particular os, but dumbing down the interface will eventually lead even windows to look like this
>>54236687
Hard to imagine considering how Microsoft has struggled to get a basic flat UI working in 4 odd years
>>54229360
Seconding chromewm info
>>54232953
This.
It's not even more lightweight than Linux, I'd rather just stick to my desktop os.
>>54237021
>>54229994
Not that anon but I found cub Linux from googling
>>54229093
Aren't they breaking some licences by not making it opensource ? I mean, it's just android adapted to be compatible on x86, so they must have some issues with that ?
At the very least, they must be using a modified linux kernel, so they must make it open source. I haven't seen any licencing on their website
>>54237309
google it
>using a more botnet version of android
shiggy diggy doo
This will win eventually
Real talk why is it so hard to get something like chromeos on a normal Linux distribution? Why can't I use chromewm and chromeosdesktop with Ubuntu?

Assuming you have access to root, you can install a firewall that will make any spyware or adware the same as clean apps.

I don't think they're about to "merge" android and chrome OS but they're going to bring the play store to chrome OS.
http://www.omgchrome.com/google-play-store-coming-chromebooks/
It will be perfect to run android apps natively in chromeOS without Android's UI bloatware slowing down chromeOS.
>>54229093
why should I use this instead of androidx86?
>>54240117
i honestly cant wait. there better be a way to run as a rooted device and spoof gpu id though so i can play my tegra specific games on it
that or I'll pick up a tegra k1 chromebook
I can't believe they mean this seriously.

What purpose does this OS serve? Who wants it? Why? What reason is there for this to be a thing?
>>54240877
Holy fuck.
>>54241214
its pretty nice for tablets who instead of being a big sized phone with stock android becomes a better laptop replacement,
>>54241214
Remix OS was being developed for around 3 years before Chrome OS began preparing to support Android apps. Also, it was originally designed for tablets instead of the pc.
>>54240877
this has to be some kind of elaborate joke

down for anyone else? I was just thinking about trying this out in a virtual machine.
As their OS is freely downloadable on their site with a torrent - does anyone have a magnet or a torrent for this?

-mouse is lagging as hell
-keyboard layout of my country has completely wrong functions

Could have been fun. but isn't. In the end, it's just android.

You aren't supposed to run virtualbox if your gig is shitty, son.

>>54229093
Great now my pc can lag too and not get updates.
>>54243321
you're funny. Has anyone ever told you that?
>>54240877
That chart is needed because of retards like >>54243321 , who have a crappy phone and think that it's Android's fault.
>>54229093
Why would i want to use an outdated gersion of android on my PC?
>>54229093
Would be very useful on Note 10.1 and note pro. Also if they had UI for phone and switches to desktop version when phone is docked, I can see myself using it on my android phone.
Useless on a fucking PC though.
