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 had a similar positive experience with Gamescope, which tamed a game that freaked out every time I moved the moude onto the other monitor.

    Maybe Wayland’s healthy place is as a secondary window system you launch inside your normal X11 session.
