How To Use Android On Your Desktop Using Remix OS: 5 Simple Steps
Remix OS, which came out yesterday, brings Android to desktop PC. The new Remix OS turns Android into a windowed desktop environment with the ability to multitask, similar to the Windows operating system.
Android is not built for a keyboard and mouse, but Jide, developer of RemixOS, wants to change it by adding Android to the desktop environment with windowed apps and do a lot more.
The Jide Remix OS is available for download and is a 700 MB file. However, it must be noted that the Remix OS is more like a beta version of software often released for developers. Therefore the Remix OS is not really for end-consumers but for people who are comfortable with the new software and will know how to use it.
The Remix OS is based on the Android-x86 project. It requires a 64-bit CPU. The Remix OS is compatible with 64-bit CPU's. However it will require a USB 3.0 flash-drive with a speed of 20mb/sec along with a PC that provides a "USB legacy" boot option. Here's how to try out the very experimental alpha.
