Unlike other QEMU-based emulators, it does not require users to type commands to use, instead having a user interface to set the virtual machine's settings. It is more popular in developing countries in Asia such as India, Malaysia, and Thailand on YouTube due to the high usage of the Android Operating System.<ref>{{Cite web |title=India: mobile OS share 2022 |url=https://www.statista.com/statistics/262157/market-share-held-by-mobile-operating-systems-in-india/ |access-date=2023-09-02 |website=Statista |language=en}}</ref> Limbo was removed from the Google Play Store for unknown reasons between February 2019 and December 2020, though it can still be installed off the developer's website with an [[Apk (file format)|APK]] (Android Package) installation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Limbo Downloads |url=https://virtualmachinery.weebly.com/limbo-downloads.html |access-date=2023-09-02 |website=Virtual Machinery |language=en}}</ref> Limbo tends to have issues regarding its audio quality and playback.

OLD: It is required to install an application known as "Hacker's Keyboard" to use many keyboard functions that a basic Android keyboard cannot do in Limbo x86, such as the Ctrl, Alt, Del, and function keys.[1] It is recommended to install Hacker's Keyboard with an APK file due to the Google Play Store stating it does not support newer Android versions; for an APK file allows installing Hacker's Keyboard on newer versions of Android. -->
