Waydroid_Setup_Guide VS waydroid

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/

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.
