      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)

            It saddens me to see you being downvoted by the Wayland evangelists when it is CLEARLY not a (EDIT: feature complete) replacement for X11 yet. If I could upvote you twice, I would.

              If only x11 worked well in the first place. But its many flaws are never going to addressed because the developers only work on Wayland

                I’ll never make the claim that X11 is perfect, but my use case requires features that are either not built into Wayland yet or simply won’t be built into it in the future.

                I’m sure it’s a fine product, but asking me to change my workflow to use it is a non-starter. When it reaches feature complete support of X11 functionality, I’ll consider changing.

                  What is the use case that doesn’t work for you? Mine was Nvidia and now it’s working on gnome at least

            That’s a fair point, and it’s the Waydroid team’s unquestioned right to use whatever technologies they want to build their software on.

            But just throwing it out as a solution to a general Linux question when there’s a VERY good chance it’s incompatible with major distros is omitting critical information.

              I’m on pop, with a working wayland for quite some time now. Excuse me fon being out of the loop, but what major distros don’t have wayland support?

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