It is definitely very performant. However, it was a pain to set up when I first tried to use it. First installing it, then installing an ARM to x86 compatibility layer, and then certifying the device for Google Play to work (which in hindsight isn’t necessary considering that Aurora Store exists.)
There are good amount of applications that are only armed. Google actually might be getting an open source arm to x86 emulator/native bridge.
If they do, then waydroid can include translation directly, but as it stands, there are no open source translators, so it’s not something waydroid can ship.
Yup, pretty much that. I really hope an open source ARM to x86 translation layer will be developed in the future, right now you have to install one of them (libhoudini or libndk) separately.
Depends on the use case.
If OP’s main goal is gaming, they’ll likely miss the control remapping features. If the use case is running standard apps, then for sure
Waydroid is better than bluestacks imo

Certifying isn’t too bad, I’ve done it 7 of 8 times now probably because I keep nuking my machines
Why do you need a compatibility layer? It runs x86 lineageos doesn’t it?

True, I used bluestacks once or twice and concluded it was bloated and possibly dodgy so never really used it
Thank you. I will try this
