Anyone tried Ubuntu Web Remix done a kid? https://fosstorrents.com/distributions/ubuntu-web/
If he keeps on, we are going to have a star.

This kid has made many distro/remixes in last few months.

You can try another remix of his on raspberry Pi... https://ubuntuunity.org/2020/12/01/u...-raspberry-pi/

I am being tempted to dual boot with it. I like the idea that it comes with something called Anbox for running Android apps. There is one particular Android app that I like to run that is not compiled for Linux. I am able to run it using Chrome browser and its ArcWelder extension. I might try out Ubuntu Web remix and Anbox to see if this is a better solution.

P.S. Before posting I decided to research Anbox. It runs Android in a container. It is a snap app. It installs on standard Ubuntu. That is how it is done in Ubuntu Web Remix. Smart developer. Even so, Ubuntu Web Remix might be useful for someone who does not want to get involved in the standard process of keeping an OS up to date.

Hi Chanath, nice to see you here.

I'm more active on Ubuntu Discourse. I'm glad to see that you got a chance to look at Ubuntu Web.

Hi grahammechanical,

I repackaged many components of Anbox as deb packages. Ubuntu Web (and Anbox used in it) doesn't use snap, nor is snapd installed by default.

Kind regards,
