elogind VS waydroid

I think it was at one point. But then the part of systemd where that happened got forked so that's not been the case for years now.

elogind and eudev are forks of logind and udev respectively in order to remove systemd as a dependency and are not part of systemd itself. In the links above there are also a pretty clear reasoning behind making those forks.

Same problem here with Void. Nvidia drivers work fine on systemd distros like Arch and Fedora. I'm assuming you're using elogind for handling acpi events? If yes then I'm in a similar boat. I compared Fedora's suspend process to Void's and apparently nvidia package on Void doesn't install nvidia-sleep.sh to /usr/bin. So, I copied nvidia-sleep.sh from Fedora manually to Void's /usr/bin and added a script for pre and post suspend events that elogind handles (these events are handled by systemd services on Fedora). I found the script on this github issue.

This is technically not true. The hard dependency was only on systemd-logind which is part of the systemd project.The elogind project extracted systemd-logind from systemd and made it usable under non-systemd inits. With elogind, it's possible to run GNOME under other init systems.

I'm just going to throw out an easy example here, but there's more than one. This is elogind's github: https://github.com/elogind/elogind

How come Gentoo has to extract logind into a separate program, elogind, into its own package? Into its own repo? Why can't it just have logind directly?

Now there's elogind to replace logind, but I haven't tried if it actually works with systemd. Back in the day you could also just have used ConsoleKit on arch to launch your desktop session, but I don't know if that still works.

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.
