pydbus VS Waydroid_Setup_Guide

Paste in a file, make executable and run it. (Oh, needs pydbus which should be available in almost all distro's repos)

You can hit dbus in a variety of ways, including just from the shell via the "dbus-send" command, or python bindings, etc.

I recommend the pydbus library. Here's a brief tutorial in case you aren't familiar with D-Bus. D-Bus is the most common IPC protocol for Linux applications so you're bound to find a client implementation in your favorite programming language.

You should look into DBus, it's a pretty standard way for Linux desktop applications to communicate with desktop environment, system and between each other. There's a very nice library for Python (pydbus) and I'm pretty sure there's one for C++ too.

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

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/
