I’ve been using it for months now … I love that I can play droidfish (cuckoo chess engine is great for lower rated games… really good practice partner). I started with the default (degoogled) image, but gave in and installed the Google play enabled one. Now I can read google play/kindle/o reilly/blinkist.

Recently installed Minecraft education for a young family member… Runs like a charm too.

Go waydroid!

      I’ll be honest here: I switched my main laptop from slow roll to Linux Mint to install it several months back to install wayDroid. I’ve been happy with the switch. Here are my thoughts:

      1. I’d installed Linux Mint + wayDroid on the laptop of various family members, and really liked what I saw
      2. Runa-chin has done a great job providing instructions and packages to install it on tumbleweed, but it has quirks that I didn’t feel like fighting. It just works out of the box in Mint.
      3. I like having KDE plasma 6 on slow roll, but the cosmetic difference from plasma 5 is minimal (it’s more performance/longer term). I’m ok with sticking with plasma 5 if I get a painless wayDroid installation
      4. Slow roll is generally stable, but updates have burned me a few times in the past year. More stability is always nicer
      5. Flatpak + appimage + snap (yes, I don’t mind using whatever is officially recommended on the project website of whatever I’m trying to install, though it would be nicer to have more official flatpaks) make it such that while my base is stable, I can still get some pretty recent packages
