Just a note: if your on a x11 desktop waydroid will not work without tinkering

True considering 90% of linux desktops are still x11 only outside of kde and gnome (they use x11 as fallback)

For future reference, u can get it working by running “mini” wayland sessions in your X11 sessions using something like weston :3

I didn’t realize how cool Wayland is. I’m going to start transitioning from dwm to dwl ⸜( ^ ᵕ ^ )⸝♡

Said tinkering is pretty simple actually, just install weston. Weston is a reference wayland implementation that can run inside X11, so you can run waydroid inside weston

I actually recommend using Niri lately. It’s not super great, but it does support multi-touch, which is major.

I hope cosmic supports it at some point because cosmic actually supports operating in kiosk mode, and also uses smithay.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
