🧠 ABSTERGO OS
An x86 Android Operating System for Performance, Gaming, and Productivity
Overview
ABSTERGO OS is a custom Android operating system built on Android-x86 7.1 r5 / AOSP, specifically tailored for x86 architecture. Designed with a focus on device compatibility, high performance, and gaming optimization, it transforms Android into a full-fledged desktop-class OS. Unlike typical Android emulators that run within Windows environments, ABSTERGO OS operates as a dedicated standalone operating system, ensuring better performance, resource management, and stability.

Why ABSTERGO OS is better than emulators?
Most Android emulators like Bluestacks or Nox run on top of Windows, resulting in extra overhead and reduced performance. In contrast, ABSTERGO OS runs directly on hardware, offering a native Android experience without intermediary layers. This enables:
- Better FPS in games
- Lower input latency
- Improved battery and resource usage on laptops and PCs
- Access to true multi-window multitasking
