I used to hate android emulators, since the ones I’d tested on Windows were ad-ridden, slow bloatware.

The other day I needed to run an android app on Fedora 40.

I tried Waydroid and it worked very well. The app ran supersmooth as if it was running natively.

Also the cli syntax was very sane an user friendly.

waydroid app install|run|list …

So if you need an Android app on linux the experience might be better than what you think it would be.

    I know i’ve fully abandoned xorg as my primary desktop system. It now only runs things that demand running in xwayland.

    Wayland is the better desktop experience, plain and simple, especially if you have multiple monitors.

      It’s nice that it is for you, it is for me a well, but I know a lot of people where wayland just out right doesn’t work for them and their workflows/needs yet
