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’m new to waydroid, how are people running games? The games I want to play don’t show as supported by the device.
Yeah, it can’t run stuff compiled for ARM, right?
I hit a speed bump and I haven’t had time to fully investigate but I too would like to run games.
we can if you load libhoudini or libndk, but both are proprietary so they arent included by default, casual snek’s waydroid-extras
Ooh, thank you. I’ll try that tonight.
What if Fedora is running on ARM?
it should have pretty good support but you may need to use this script to spoof the device for some stuff https://github.com/Quackdoc/waydroid-scripts/blob/main/spoof-device.sh
