Hello Amigos,

I recently discovered the marvelous option of running Icaros in Hosted mode, utilizing a solution called hostbridge, which is analogous to Host-run in WinUAE and uses Amikit as RabbitHole.

This feature is very intriguing, as it elevates Arosx86 to a new level of functionality—a brilliance that Amikit has cleverly harnessed, although Amiga fans are often slow to appreciate the possibilities of new features and improvements.

I am curious to know if there is any distribution of Icaros built on Amiberry x86 Linux or on top of Lakka. This would allow us to run Icaros x86 with Linux running in the background, enabling us to offer Linux emulators or applications that could be useful within the Icaros desktop environment.

Think of it like Amilator—we could run Arosx86 on top of Linux without having the Linux desktop visible. Essentially, it would be fantastic to have a distribution that we can install on a USB or internal drive, running Linux in the background to enhance Arosx86 hardware compatibility and leverage the Linux API for more demanding resources when needed.
