  • I think this depends on too many factors to give general advice. Android is very different from other Linux distros because they share almost none of the supporting libraries and software. Even the Linux Kernel they share is heavily modified.

    The are many apps that are made for both Linux and Android but I think they have to be built with portability in mind for that to work. Godot for instance can make Linux, Windows, Mac OS and Android packages.

    On the other side there are Sober for Roblox and the Minecraft Bedrock Launcher that use the respective Android packages and make them run on Linux. But they are specialised for Roblox and Minecraft and don’t work on all Android packages.

















  • Just for drive redundancy it’s awesome. One drive fails you just pull it out, put in a new one and let the array rebuild. I guess the upside of hardware RAID is that some even allow you to swap a disk without powering down. Either way, you have minimal downtime.

    I guess a better way would be to have multiple servers. Though with features like checksums in BTRFS I guess a RAID is still better because it can protect against bitrot. And with directly connected systems in a RAID it is generally easier to ensure consistency.
