I tried Waydroid on Arch and its amazing. It runs Android apps flawlessly. And with a touchscreen device, I feel like I have an Android tablet running inside my Linux machine.

But I still don’t know what to use it for…

What apps do you use with Waydroid? What use cases do you have for it?

    Did it work out of the box for you? Doesn’t load for me on either of my machines that have waydroid

      Do you have an ARM emulator installed? I don’t think the game ships an x86 build. Other than that it just worked.

        Is that what libhoudini is? I heard of it, but don’t recall if I installed it

          I think so. IIRC there are a few different implementations. But if you configure any of them Android will automatically use it to run non-native apps.
