Doesn't Waydroid require Wayland instead of XWindows?
Because my Linux PC is also my gaming PC, which for historical reasons (used to be a Windows PC) has a NVidia card, and from what I've read Wayland is a lot more problematic with NVidia drivers than XWindows.
Last time I went to install Waydroid I just stopped half way and reverted it because their website says it requires Wayland.
For the past few months I've used Wayland with Bazzite and Nvidia, with no apparent issue. I might have issues or missing features I don't realize, and if there was a performance degradation it was small enough I didn't notice.
Tldr; YMMV, but works for me
I'm on Pop!OS which comes with X11 by default, so I'm very wary of trying to change it to use Wayland as I don't wan't to risk breaking my gaming PC (followed by who knows how many days of mucking about with it to fix it) which is supposed to just be for coming home after work and relaxing.
Is there another way of running Android apps on Linux?
