I was wondering if I could run some of the Andriod games on my Ubuntu laptop. I tried searching the forums and found some references to the Andriod SDK but it all seemed like a foreign language to my non-techie brain.
Can you do this and if so, are their "newbie directions" someone can point me to?
I found this but it's old http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-t...u-115152.shtml
It does seem quite an active link, with comments dated October 2012.Quote:

I have tried the asus RC2 version on a netbook (MSI) which I use but only as a live system, where it seems to run very fast, though it does have a few glitches with some of the default apps which suddenly turn to landscape aspect, ie, on their side even though the mouse movements are still in portrait. That makes mouse control extremely difficult.
I have no idea if it's possible to download and add extra apps to the system, live or installed, but thought you might like to know about this just in case it is any use to you.
