Reply to "DCS remotes will no longer made?"

Just to make sure I've spent too much time thinking about this  - I took a stab at installing the Linux based - AndroidX86 operating system running on a PC - just to see if I could get the DCS app to install and run.

http://www.android-x86.org/

While I have some Linux chops - this AndroidX86 distro is still more of a project - and wasn't the easiest thing to get installed.

I tried a few different PCs - in the end - I could only get the 32 bit version to boot on my 64 bit PC - The web browser and YouTube worked as they should - but the Google Play Store would always crash.

I did get as far as seeing the MTH app and clicking install...but that's it - CRASH.

I had to use Ethernet - Wi-fi was unreliable  - that I could probably fix - but the Play Store crash is above my pay grade...

Too bad - if this OS was as easy to install as Linux Mint or the other big distros - this might have some potential...for geeky operators.

As it is now - I think you'd need some serious Linux Kung Fu to make it work...maybe.

It was worth a shot!
