    Its not easy at all, I found it a real pain to set up if you dont use an apt based distro. Opensuse tumbleweed for example requires you use kernel modules not shipped by default and some third party repos.

    “Now”? I used it two years ago or so, without any issues.

      Arguably wayland still had a lot more issues 2 years ago. Now its the default on a few big distros.

        Switched to wayland (sway) 2.5+ years ago, laptop and main NVidia rig. The former is still perfect, the latter had many issues until I switched to AMD half a year ago or so.

    This would be awesome… If there was a single Android app that I’d want to use on my desktop.

    This is why I’m baffled by Google’s plan to merge Android and Chrome Desktop. Why would anyone want that?

      … it doesn’t have to be a desktop, eg you might want to install a banking app on your fridge.

      Running android apps on Linux would be rad for the use case of a Linux phone running KDE plasma mobile or such

      One theory I heard was that it was a preemptive measure incase they’re forced to sell off (or split off or whatever) chrome due to potential antitrust issues they’re facing. This would then have some really fucky downstream effects regarding ChromeOS. Or maybe this is something to try to avoid the antitrust issue in the first place? I don’t really know and this is all second hand speculation.

      My only possible use case for it was smartube next and jellyfin, but last I tried it, the apps couldn’t go fullscreen and you couldn’t change the DNS server so Jellyfin didn’t work at all. And I didn’t even try audio passthrough soy assumption is that doesnt work either.
