#Waydroid uses a container-based approach to boot a full #Android system on a #GNU #Linux computer. It's also now on #OpenCollective! Donations or sponsorships are greatly welcomed and help accelerate Waydroid's development. This is something I'm personally excited about because it lets me run banking apps, etc, on my #Purism #Librem5 to make it viable as a primary phone.

Is there a way to run Waydroid with XFCE? (or without Wayland in general)

Show threadㅤWyndixApr 6, 2023

@newsorpigal You can use a nested Wayland compositor on X such as Weston! In Arch for example you would just do sudo pacman -S weston && weston

Thanks! Is there a guide on how to run Waydroid within Weston?

Show threadㅤWyndixApr 6, 2023
@newsorpigal You should be able to just open a terminal inside the compositor and follow your distro's guide. Everything should work as expected

@jc Windows and Chromebooks use similar solution, no DE on Linux do the same.
