Waydroid_Setup_Guide VS libgbinder

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/
