Waydroid – Run Android containers on Ubuntu

Re:Waydroid – Run Android containers on Ubuntu by marcodiego on Wednesday September 22, 2021 @09:18PM (#28624170)

Just installed it. First impressions:

* The good

  - It is very responsive and smooth

  - Install just following instructions described

  - F-droid works

  - Apps installed from F-droid works

  - Full screen videos from Newpipe play smoothly

* The bad

  - Had to enable "invert colors" to get correct colors

  - Mouse scroll is inverted

  - Can't choose correct layout of physical keyboard because android thinks there's no physical keyboard connected

  - Android gestures on the desktop are annoying

  - Can't access whole screen of vertical apps and they appear sideways on my screen

  - Multiwindow mode didn't work at first

* The ugly:

  - Nothing is actually ugly. Everything mostly works as expected

One thing to add to The bad/The ugly:

- requires Wayland - does not seem to work with X11

This makes it a no-go for many a potential user.

Thanks. That explains the "Way" prefix for the project name, I suppose.
