Waydroid_Setup_Guide VS PolyMC

So does the waydroid work on the deck? Well, it kind of does, kind of not. I managed to install waydroid using this tutorial: https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steam-deck-tricks#android-via-waydroid I also managed to install arm translation layer using script mentioned here: https://github.com/Aman9das/Waydroid_Setup_Guide And I also managed to get GAPPS working, after sending google services identificator to google here: https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/?pli=1

https://github.com/Aman9das/Waydroid_Setup_Guide/blob/main/COMPATIBILITY.md this is the best linux can do at the moment.. of course you have touchscreen, so everything over 3 will work perfectly with touch

Look up how to install wayland. Then follow https://github.com/Aman9das/Waydroid_Setup_Guide this guide, as its closest to Mint

Yeah the guide has compatibility rating as a table too. In fact i made the table, general apps works pretty well, games are hit or miss: https://github.com/Aman9das/Waydroid_Setup_Guide/

Set up https://github.com/Aman9das/Waydroid_setup_guide for her too if you think she'd appreciate it :)

No, not really. No one was in charge at the beginning. It was a community project with multiple people having the administrative role at the same time. LennyMcLennington was one of the contributers, but not really an important one. But he removed the administrative rights from the actually important people. Devs like flowln and Scrumplex played a much bigger role. Even after half a year being the only developer at the PolyMC-Project Lenny still heasn't caught up with what other conributers had done in a few months before. See: https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/graphs/contributors

Could I suggest trying a different launcher such as PolyMC? You can get this on deck in Linux linkand sign into your microsoft account to access Java. This version also has the benefit of you being able to get modpacks.

It's still open source, the repo hasn't moved. https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/

The issue is: the main developer freaked out, made a post ranting about political bs, kicked everyone from the GitHub project and now it's been 2 months since it hasn't been updated. The developers who used to contribute to "PolyMC" moved from the "PolyMC" project to the "PrismLauncher" one after the drama.

There was no prompting or provocation towards lenny at all. The code of conduct existed for ages before lenny deleted it on oct 17 2022: https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/commits/358f080c76dbdfc65f32e08448a5e38b78d2bab0/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

for polymc literally yes git commit (got deleted but title is there)

First, it's gio that handles trash in SteamOS. Second, after digging into PolyMC's code, it also leverages trash. Was added roughly 7 months ago in this commit: https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/commit/02f30de1c11fa53e61c199032a3280afe618e3b2
