Extremely positive experience with Waydroid

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.

Yeah you've got that perfectly backwards.
Wayland allows X11 apps to open using XWayland. Not the other way around.

Xorg's life is running short and will be largely abandoned in the near future.

I admire your optimism but some governments are still using floppy disks.

I don't see how this matters lol, as govt will happily used abandoned media and software.

We're here talking end users and homelabs, not IBM mainframe maintainers 😛
