On the surface level this seems good. The current Android-on-PC landscape is pretty bleak; your choices boil down to spyware/adware emulators (Mumu, Bluestacks, LDPlayer etc) or Windows Subsystem for Android, which forced me to either use the Amazon Appstore or sideload through the terminal last I tried it.

Looks like my account isn't eligible for the beta yet, presumably it's a slow rollout.

Not in the linux land. Last time I tried waydroid it worked impressively well.

If only there was something for xorg that worked. Mate Desktop is not yet Wayland compatible.

You probably know about it, but in case you don't know: You can run Wayland inside Xorg via cage[1] so you don't need to use a Wayland compositor.

I run Waydroid on X by running a Wayland compositor on top of X. Works OK.
