Well if phones can use it so should any PC and it could be another solution to balance bling-bling with performance.

I've tried it a few times. Not really impressed but who knows about future. Android is not as user friendly to me as linux is.

I've tried it in VritualBox a couple of times but couldn't get it full screen and found it hard working with it with a mouse and keyboard. I had hoped it would let me use thinks like the Netflix app in a VM on my PC but with the above problems it turned out not to be of any use.

I tried it in QEMU briefly yesterday and it's surprisingly useful and quite a bit of fun.

I'm posting this from Live test on not so new PC and from USB flash drive. Pretty interesting alternative to Puppy, Austrumi, antiX etc. if you ask me.

Netflix works natively in Linux now... in Google chrome. Firefox should follow in a few months.

Yes, thanks, I've been using it for a while now.
Would be nice to have Android full screen though for other things.
