For those who don't know, you can put Android on a desktop via RemixOS. Would you want Android on a desktop computer? Why or why not?

There's no real advantage to doing this. The one situation I can see this MAYBE making sense to do is if your developing apps for android. Even then, there's plenty of free to use app development kits that come with Android emulators that seem like would be a better choice. Android is good for what it was designed for- mobile devices. I don't see the benefit of using it for anything else.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member It is interesting to see how running Android as the main OS on a desktop has matured. When I first did it back in 2012, it reminded me of running Linux back in 2000. I can see it being used on netbooks and older hardware. Right now, I use Bluestacks on the my wife's computer so she can play her Android games.
