  1. Been tinkering a bit with ANDROID SUBSYSTEM for Windows. It does NOT use Google Playstore by default but as you can see my version does 😏 Previously, I used some emulators like NOX / BLUESTACKS /LDplayer etc but this seems better with good integration with Windows, for example the ReFace App instantly defaulted to my Desktops Logitech Webcam. I still prefer testing various LINUX distos using Vmware though or older hardware, so I will never use LINUX SUBSYSTEM for Windows and so I have removed that feature.

      That's pretty neat.  I imagine the real purpose is to use this to test out android app development.  I may have to give this a try on an old laptop.

      From what I have read that DOES seem to be the general use for it or the most suggested, makes sense. I was surprised how well it integrated though and definitely prefer it over stand alone emulators like LDplayer which tend to be chock full of adds etc. as well have origins in China so trustworthiness is dubious at best. Seeing the Reface app automatically pickup my webcam was the clincher for me. Now I am using a hack or patched version which allows Google Playstore just to be clear but I am using an ANDROID account I created originally just of emulation purposes anyway. I am no developer but I just cannot help but test and tinker with such things.
