More than three months in development, Android-x86 9.0 is here to let users run the Android 9 Pie mobile operating system on their personal computers. It’s the latest stable version of the project and comes with numerous new features and improvements. This release adds support for OpenGL ES 3.x hardware acceleration for AMD, Intel, and Nvidia chips, as well as QEMU (virgl) virtualization through the Mesa 19.3.4 open-source graphics stack. For unsupported GPUs, it uses OpenGL ES 2.0 via SwiftShader for software rendering.
