I need a desktop system 99% of the time, but I have an Android app (*) that I'd need to run occasionally. (*) Not Zoom. It's an app that shouldn't probably exist in the first place, but so it is. > You are using an operating system not providing what you actually > need, No, I'm using an operating system which gives me 99% of what I need. > so to workaround the wrong choice done in the first place, you > consider to use a virtual machine, but not to run the most useful guest > for your purpose, instead you consider to try the most freakish > "solution". No again. Really. Unfortunately that app is available for Android and iOS, so it's not a matter of "freak". > Why not running iOS or iPadOS as virtualbox guest? Licensing issues, I guess. Is it possible to run those OSes freely? To come up with something costructive, I've never run Android on bhyve, but I have on VirtualBox: performance is horrible, there are no guest additions, but it works for an occasional use. bye av.
