I have a lenovo Z575 which has an AMD APU with dual graphics. I installed remix os and got the error, which I later fixed following a guide on here from SEPTEMBER 2016...
The fix basically disables the GPU and enforces software graphics.... This makes the system almost unusable and ugly...
I'm wondering why is there still no fix for this? Ubuntu supports dual gpus, and someone who knows what theyre doing posted on google support forums that he merged some files and he got remix os running with dual gpu's, I'm really confused why no one has fixed this...
I'm hoping someone can help me get this running on my PC, if not possible please recommend me some other lightweight operating systems that run fairly well on old hardware...
Would it be better for me to run the lollipop ver. of Remix OS? That seemed to have the dual gpu compatibility...

Is it possible to run Linux on low-end android phones?
Possibly a method that does not need loop device support.
I'm talking about 600Mhz processor and 256mb RAM
And Damn Small Linux as the linux distro.
Is there any method to do this? I have seen methods for Ubuntu and backtrack but they require better hardware.
Thanks
Have you tried the Ubuntu Installer from market? Give it a try, you may be surprised.

Ubuntu Installer says,
Kernel with Loop device support REQUIRED!! and
1GHZ processor (recommended)
which I am pretty sure i do not have. And kernel source is not available.
So, including support is out of the question.
Anyway, thanks for your reply
Well, attempt the download?
Nouveau is not compatible 'enough' with most cards. It always has an issue or two with each particular card. Not to mention people with dual video cards, it is pain in the a** for them!
So here is what I want to say, what if some developers used the Nvidia proprietary driver .run file, extracted it and managed to make it work on Remix OS? Remix is based on Android which is in return based on Linux kernel and drivers that work on one of those should work on the other by some way.
In case this is impossible due to many incompatibilities like Remix OS not using Xorg and other differences between it and normal Linux, what about signing a petition and sending it to Nvidia asking them to provide a driver for Remix OS with help of Remix OS developers?
Hi,
I was looking for some Android x86 OS to install on my laptop, so I came across Remix OS. I very much like it, after going through all of features. However, I found Phoenix OS too. I am just super confused now. Which OS should I install; what makes Remix OS better than Phoenix?
Thank you!
Anyone?
u can install them both, and ur problem solved
Thanks! This initiative is not going to resolve my curiosity.
What I mean is u can try install them both and see which one is most working for ur device or PC cause they have pros and cons between one and another
Remix OS and Phoenix OS are just two Android distributions - both based on Android x86. So in terms of hardware support, they might be similar. Phoenix OS seems more refined and ready for market, Remix OS is still just beta and has a lot of bugs. On the other hand Remix OS has a much bigger community, help pages, forums and users - with Phoenix OS you are on your own.
All that said, there is a third option. You could simply plug your Android tablet to a keyboard/mouse/screen and forget about all the Android x86 fever. Your hardware will be fully supported, have access to an official Google Android build with all the support included and in the long term there will be less hassle. And now with Android N on the way which supports Remix OS like windows, you will never notice any difference. I myself am going this route. I will wait for Android N tablets, buy a sufficiently performing one and plug it to some peripherals - instant Android desktop, fully supported by Google. No tricks, no hacks, no unsupported hardware.
Lol... You're having a bad dream...
You can also install a non windowed version of android x-86, after numerous attempts and a lot of failed boots I ended up using AndEx - Exton Android - http://andex.exton.net/?p=451
Does that mean you paid for it as it isnt free?
I have rooted Remix OS 2.0.205 running on Integrated Intel Graphics card which runs very well right now....
I have a discrete NVidia graphics card 840M also on my laptop.
I have used NVidia graphics card with open-source nouveau on my ubuntu.
So, I think I can also run remix OS using same drivers but the problem is that I cannot find any forum or guide to switch GPU for remix OS.......
Anyone can help me in this regards???
I have used ubuntu for quite a long time so I am comfortable with Linux (package installation & configuration) !!
Please free to provide any suggestion !!!!
I've recently bought a surface go for school (64gb emmc, 4gb ram model) and I love the pen and the build quality however i found windows to be way to slow on a device like this and decided to try android. android-x86_64-8.1-r2 installed fine and it runs great on this hardware except for a few issues such as camera, auto rotate and the like. I've run into a pre-made kernel that fixes these issues and will link it below. I was wondering if someone could help me with implementing this kernel into android x86 to get the full set of features working. Thanks in advance!
Kernel:
(On github) /jakeday/linux-surface/releases
Could you tell me how you implemented that pre-made kernel into Android x86? I'm trying to do the same thing with Bliss OS 11.10 (Kernel 4.19), but I really don't know how. I could have missed something on the GitHub page, but I don't know how to implement a kernel into Android. To be honest, I never implemented a Linux kernel into an OS.
I hope you read this even though it's already been a few months.
Thank you
