For all my needs of temporary android devices, I use a temporary VM instead. where I install android-x86. Now I am looking for alternatives to this distro. It is a bit slow to use and now dated. Still on android 9.

Any recommendation that are FLOSS? A guide how to install Lineage OS on QEmu or KVM is also a good alternative.

          Well, if I’m on my laptop, I just use the browser. It’s much easier, and they don’t sqawk at me because it is “rooted” - even though it has always been rooted.
