Setting up Android-x86 with Virt-Manager

855 words

Android-x86 is a project which aims to make a flavour of Android that is suitable to run natively on any regular x86-based desktop computer.

This post will show you how to set up an Android-x86 virtual machine on Linux using Virt-Manager, a GUI frontend for QEMU, and configuring it for optimal performance and coolness.
