    i want to install anbox (run android on linux), and it has modules that are required to be installed in the kernel (chamem? ) using dkms: first hurdle was that my ubuntu had a kernel version beyond 5.6, so it doesn’t allow any modification, then learned that i could boot with 5.19 at startup, but still, i got another error that compiler used (gcc) is of different version than the one used with the kernel. all i wanted is to install anbox 😭😭

          You got it! And yeah, that’s the nice part, nearly everyone tries to contribute, I like to think that part of it is to spite Windows and prove that Linux isn’t so difficult like all the skeptics say lol, personally I just feel compelled to help anyone if I know I can answer their question, it feels wrong not to

            ur effort is really appreciated! also using linux help safeguard the environement. if it weren’t for it, my laptop would be unuusuable and become e-waste at this point. i am interested also in running ai tools locally: and it requires a lot of dependencies, and many of them run on the latest windows (which cant be installed due to a hardware limitation), on the other hand: linux is lightweight, comes with the latest dependencies and easily gets upgraded, just give it enough ram and disk space and u can see the magic happen.also with linux: helpful community, privacy friendly, full control of ur machine (if u want to) and thus less bloatware: in this case, u actually own ur machine, which is getting less common by time. linux is the future at this point.

      One of the best qualities of Arch and other Arch based distros, the ability to use the archwiki.

      It can be helpful when using other distros too but on Arch it’s exactly the docs your supposed to use.

      https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Anbox

      From that wiki it says: Note: As of February 2023, Anbox is no longer actively developed. The developer recommended Waydroid as an alternative.

        well according to my simple serf beliefs, i thought that arch would allow more kernel tinkering, maybe thats why it was popular among certain groups, and jokes aside: if i am obliged to learn cui instead of gui, i might as well learn it the solid way (i am still novice at linux, and arch seems kinda intimidating) guess i ll start using arch, idk if it uses different comands other than sudo and so forth…although its still linux, but the documentation is really helpful, also again: i really appreciate ur help. i ll check waydroid instead.
