DotfilesGentooHome VS waydroid

I use BTRBK to make and copy BTRFS snapshots to my HDD. I schedule it to run every 3 hours using a Sytemd unit file through my own script to run the backup at more convenient moments:

I personally prefer to use the old module-combine-sink module due to its simplicity. It's rock solid. I use it for about two years with this script I made. Don't think too much about it, since it's implemented in a quite different scenario from what you have there. The only similarity is that we are creating a virtual sink to simultaneously output sound from two different sinks. I have a mini-system that I keep disabled and the script not only creates the virtual sink but also enables the mini-system sink. For everyday use, I prefer to keep my audio panel clean with just my HDMI sink.

Having some concern is one thing, thinking of doing intensive disk procedures is a whole 'nother story. I mean.. It's just a cold shutdown. Anyway, if you're copying some data for the first time and a cold shutdown happens, there's nowhere to run on any filesystem. The data would be obviously gone. I never had a single issue after some cold shutdown and I have a script that periodically checks its health. On COW filesystems, the data is presented on the disk just once, even if you copy it, for example. On further manipulation of that data, that change it's written in one or more unused blocks, and the original data remains unchanged. If some unexpected shutdown strikes, for example, the original data will be safe where it was before.

Just for you to know, you can use Wayland under Xorg as well. What prevents me to use it nowadays is the fact it doesn't support webcam, so I'm using Android through QEMU. I made a script for it that passes my webcam. It just works.

I'm setting up my network every time I start the VM like this using a bridge. My VM is behind the android_bridge0 bridge using NAT. In this case, I don't need to use port forward.

I have this script to set up the environment and load my Android VM. It's working perfectly with camera, sound, 3D accel and all, but the battery it's always at its minimum, which some apps refuse to work with.

Now (I already cut the number of lines in half)

Just bumping the version is the simplest case possible, but sadly, TKG has around 750 patches, and what's going to be applied highly depends on the version and my config. In fact, that's one of the reasons they didn't make an ebuild yet.

I made four so far.(starting wit taskbar_)

Android on the desktop works very well on Wayland with Waydroid and it even supports Google Play store. https://waydro.id/

Great running apps not available on Linux with a touchscreen PC. It only seems to run Android apps compiled for x86, but it is very fast.

There are practical use cases, and it is very usable. I haven’t tried it on WSL2, but it seems like a practical approach without reliance on Microsoft.

There's a piece of software called Waydroid[1] that allows you to run Android applications on GNU/Linux platforms - including the PinePhone. Sxmo, despite its name, can run Wayland instead of X and therefore supports Waydroid.

Personally, I haven't managed to get Waydroid to work, a task hindered due to some massive initial downloads which are required to set it up. However, I haven't tried particular hard, and there are videos online by those more successful than me[2].

I thought it was uncharacteristic of to see a service like this offered by a large tech company, and wanted to share.

Check out the Waydroid application.

I have setup an Arch linux server on my old pc. i mainly use it for plex, transmission, docker etc and it works pretty well! I wanted to install Waydroid https://waydro.id/ on that server. Is there a way that I can view waydroid using a VNC viewer on my laptop on the same network? is it possible or would I have to install a GUI like xfce before installing waydroid to view the same on tigervnc or some other VNC viewer? Thanks & regards.

Same here. Sometimes, it crashes on a measly 4 GB of RAM.

I would recommend using Waydroid[1]. It runs fairly well in my use case, and runs LineageOS on top of it with the full LineageOS GUI.

i am using KDE Neon (user edition) on two machines (thinkpad laptops with intel). On mentioned machines i would like to try and use waydroid: https://waydro.id/ Waydroid required wayland as display server (it will probably not work on x11).

Waydroid is rebuilding the original idea behind Anbox with explicit focus on modern Wayland powered desktop environments.
