From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi,

when running an Android app in Waydroid, what data can it see? Can it read my local hard drive? Can it scan my network? Can I manage it to just live in it's container and get nothing but an internet connection?

If you want waydroid to see files on the host, you need to muck around with bind-mounting a directory, or just using abd to move files manually.

I think waydroid can't see anything beyond itself normally. I had a hell of a time trying to get files on there, so if there's an easy way to get Waydroid to see files on the host, I couldn't find it.

great. I don't want those apps snooping around on my PC. Thank you.
