ubuntu 23.10

I can access my employer’s local network if I authenticate with a 2fa. They suggest proprietary software, but aegis authenticator (found in fdroid) works fine.

The thing is, the phone’s screen is too small and it’s very cumbersome to navigate the screen and to click. It’s so bad I don’t want to use it, because fonts are so small you cannot read anything. It’s like they didn’t even try to optimize the local network for devices.

However, if I could emulate this app on an ubuntu based computer, I’d use it. Can it be done?

    I just use native apps and import/export between devices, but I believe Aegis has sync*, so that’s probably pretty appealing. You can use Waydroid which provides an Android environment without emulation. The Ubuntu install docs are pretty straightforward. It’s my go to for running Android apps. If you’re still using X11 (stop!), use Anbox, though it hasn’t been maintained for two years, and I believe it is harder to setup.

    EDIT: * no it doesn’t. I don’t know where I got that idea from. Anyway, probably means you should just use an app that’s native for Linux.
