  • Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)

    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.

  • Sxmo: Linux tiling window manager for phones

    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.

  • Can I view Waydroid on a different display on a VNC viewer?
    1 project | /r/archlinux | 9 Oct 2023
    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.
  • Run Firefox on ChromeOS

    Same here. Sometimes, it crashes on a measly 4 GB of RAM.

    > (the only thing I'm missing is running Android apps)

    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).
