Description:

Hello Jide Team,

I would like to respectfully request that you reconsider reviving Remix OS for PC, the innovative Android-based desktop operating system that once redefined mobile–desktop convergence. Many users, including developers and tech enthusiasts, still see enormous potential in this concept — especially with today’s powerful hardware and evolving Android ecosystem.


Proposed Features for a Modern Remix OS:

Base OS: Android 16 (latest AOSP release)

Hardware Support:

Latest Intel and AMD CPUs Support

NVIDIA / AMD /Snapdragon / MediaTek /Broadcom GPUs with Vulkan, OpenGL, and HDR, FSR, DLSS API's and Drivers
And latest Wine support

Wayland display server support for smoother graphics drivers

Full Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 7, and Touchscreen compatibility Support QR Scans

User Interface:

Modern Material You (Material 3 Expressive) design
for both desktop and tablet modes

Developer & App Support:

Option to bypass new Android security frameworks for sideloading and testing custom APKs

Integration with ADB tools and developer-friendly boot modes


Rationale:

Remix OS pioneered the Android PC desktop experience long before ChromeOS and other hybrid systems became mainstream. With renewed focus, it could once again fill a valuable niche — especially for developers, educators, and users seeking a lightweight, touch-friendly, and customizable desktop OS built on Android.


Community Impact:

Encourages open innovation in the Android desktop space

Revives a nostalgic yet practical project with modern potential

Expands options for older and newer devices alike


Closing Note:

I truly admire the vision behind Remix OS. It inspired many in the open-source and Android enthusiast community. I hope Jide or another development team might revisit this project for the modern era and bring Remix OS back stronger than ever.

Thank you for your time and consideration. 🙏
