The Android Generic project aims to bring popular custom ROMs to your PC
The Android Generic project from the developers of BlissRoms makes it extremely easy to port any custom ROM to your x86(-64) PC. Read on!
Apart from smartphones and tablets, Android is an operating system you can find inside your smart TV, smartwatch, car, and several other devices of all shapes and sizes. When it comes to the world of x86 PCs, however, Google is trying hard to push Chrome OS instead. Thankfully, Android’s open-source nature and versatility allow developers to unleash the full potential of the OS and port it to x86(-64) devices as well. The Android-x86 project is a pioneer in this field, which also serves as the foundation for a number of forks, such as Remix OS (not supported anymore) and Bliss OS. The developer team behind the Bliss OS/BlissRoms project has now come up with an interesting toolkit that should revolutionize the porting process of any custom ROM to the PC platform.

Bliss OS based on Android Pie for x86 PCs now comes with the Google Play Store
Bliss OS is an Android Pie custom ROM for x86-based laptop and desktop PCs. It now comes with the Google Play Store pre-installed.
Although Android dominates the mobile OS industry, Google has never officially dipped its toes into the PC space. Thankfully, Android's open-source nature and versatility let developers get creative and port the OS to many officially unsupported devices. For example, the developers of Bliss ROMs maintain a version of Android Pie for x86 PCs and laptops. I am a member of their Telegram group and I know the team has been hard at work squashing bugs to make Bliss OS as reliable as possible. They released a new version, 11.8, which now includes the Google Play Store.
