English:

Good morning again 8-) I have a doubt .. would it be possible to play ddnet on some operating system like Phoenix OS? I have a slightly weak computer, so I removed windows and installed Phoenix, but I wanted to play ddnet on it :cry:

It seems like Phoenix OS is based on android indeed, so you might be able to run our .apk client.
https://ddnet.tw/downloads/DDNet-9.3.1.apk
However it's a rather old client version (not maintained anymore !) and you'll certainly _not_ have the same game experience.

So you should probably just stay with Windows or if you want a more resource-friendly OS get familiar with Linux (eg. Xubuntu). That should definitely run smooth even on bad systems and we have a native client for linux as well.

can you let me know if this version of ddnet apk is open source?

Maybe the code is included in the v9.3.1 source (https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/archive/9.3.1.zip), otherwise deen might redirect you in the right direction.
