> I think it's important for self hosting solutions to not run Android or Windows
Not sure I follow. Those are the two most widely deployed operating systems. If you want people to be able to upcycle their old devices for selfhosting, I think that's where efforts should be focused.
Mmmm, you're thinking upcycling. My concern was you wouldn't want someone running their self hosted cloud on say, their phone or laptop which they might take with them out of their home.
I mean, technically we could probably eventually get Sandstorm and similar platforms on WSL? Android is radioactive garbage and nobody should go near it. Especially for an older device already abandoned driver-wise, you'd never manage to do anything secure or stable with it long-term.
You don't even have to use WSL (which requires Windows Pro I believe). Accelerated QEMU already has experimental support on Windows hosts via WHPX, on both Home and Pro.
Android doesn't currently support virtualization, but there's hope it will eventually, which should mitigate many security concerns.
