Why run Linux apps on Android when you can run Android apps on Linux?

[–] commander@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

To me a temporary solution (which may be many years) where hardware support is real good on Android but terrible on Linux for these phones. In particular the high end chips. On Linux I rarely ever want to use an Android app. On Android it'd be cool to dock my phone and use Linux applications

I would prefer the other way around. let me run apks on Linux.

Waydroid nowadays works pretty stable imho.

I will have to try it then.
