What do you use Waydroid for?

I tried Waydroid on Arch and its amazing. It runs Android apps flawlessly. And with a touchscreen device, I feel like I have an Android tablet running inside my Linux machine.

But I still don't know what to use it for...

What apps do you use with Waydroid? What use cases do you have for it?

Encrypted hard drive asking for password every time
  • This reply isn't going to be helpful to OP, but thought I might add context for others passing by.

    I'm using Arch Linux with LUKS encryption and gdm. As long as my user's password is the same as the LUKS password, I only ever type my password in once.

    Just saying that a MacOS-like convenience is definitely possible on Linux.

  • Does Linux even work properly on Dell XPS laptops?
  • I've found it works flawlessly on mine, with a minor caveat that the fingerprint sensor doesn't work (some Dell models do, just not the one I got). I'm using Arch Linux on a 9310 2-in-1.

    I suggest checking the Arch Wiki The wiki has compatibility notes for many XPS laptops on what works, what doesn't, and what workarounds may be available. If you're not planning on using Arch, your distro of choice may have a wiki with that info too.

  • Hyprland is a toxic community
  • Hmm, I feel like there's some nuances around Hyprland (and it's kind of window managers) that makes having a place for discussion valuable.

    • Plugin development discussions
    • Configuration recipes and troubleshooting (Configs for tiling wm's often are like 500-line software projects)
    • ...and sometimes its just fun to chat with like-minded people who share a similar philosophy on the tools they use on their computers

    I'm not a hyprland user, but I find it valuable to lurk around SwayWM communities on Discord and Reddit.
