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.

    But now the windows one is getting scrapped whereas Waydroid is presumably sticking around.

      google play games is still really good, it’s more or less just android inside of crosvm, usually android emulators are based on virtualbox, some are based on qemu
