alt Hacker NewsWhy is it easier to run a Linux ARM64 binary on Android than to run an Android ARM64 binary on Linux?
My guess is that the reason is the same reason that there aren't official updated Android containers

I don't know what you mean by an "Android ARM64 binary". If you make an ELF file containing ARM64 machine code, it doesn't matter to Linux whether you meant for it to run on Linux in an Android system, on Linux in a desktop GNU system, or on Linux in some environment with without much of a userspace at all (such as a stripped down initramfs environment).
If you mean something like an Android app, the answer is that there's a ton of system stuff that the app depends on, it interacts with more than just the kernel.
