the one thing linux really hasnt been made on par with winblows yet is the dreadful amount of options for android simulation -the most popular choice seems to be Waydroid, but its such an unneeded hassle to set up at all -genymotion is just slow -and than you have things like android x86 which entirely defeat the point of an emulator
let me put it like this, you seem to be an outlier and there seems to be an issue with your setup, feel free to reach out on the telegram or github so people can take a look and see if they can help
speaking of here we are again im the outlier and it must be my setup
this is neither the first nor the last time ill hear that one
yes. which is why we would like to fix it…
ill never use telegram again, especially if i need to make an account again, and the few times i actually posted on github it felt so stuffy and crummy like you needed to be extremely careful about every single word you say
if you really wanted to fix something, make waydroid easier to use and most importantly, work regardless of desktop environment
the other thing that needs fixing is the linux mentalityyou cant always point your finger at the user, sometimes, and heres the kicker, its not the user when certain programs cant even run on a stock distro that literally just got installed, like the whim of the code gods are rolling a dice, ill call bullhog on the “its the user” mentalityThe only hard requirement is wayland, Thats not a hard sell, works perfectly fine on xfce when using a nested wayland compositor.
Waydroid also has matrix and discord available.
If you weren’t willing to at least put a modicum of effort into reporting your issues properly, don’t complain about open source software, go use Windows.
You’re getting a free product, for free what a surprise. you can complain all you want, but in this case yes, it is your fault. If you’re not willing to try and help yourself a little bit, then yes it’s your fault.
we can’t fix magical problems we can’t replicate. I know that might be a little hard to believe, but it is true.
The fact of the matter is on The more popular distros, waydroid is more or less an out-of-box experience now. If you’re not willing to help your specific use case get fixed, then it won’t get fixed.
stop complaining.
how would you know how much effort i put into trying to fix things on linux? how would you know i spend days if not weeks in total trying to make garbage run that should have worked out the box.
yes, you cant fix it, cause you are not willing to make the actual piece of software work, clearly.
waydroid, literally, for a fact, is not an out of the box experience or it wouldnt have silly requirements as gpu, de/wm.
I am long past trying to fix things that shouldnt need fixing in the first place, if it doesnt work in under 30 minutes max, than whatever software it was is defacto broken and doesnt need to be used.
And you actually are right, well with one thing, you are free to tell me to stop complaining, and i am free to continue. neither of us has any power to make the other stop.
But we are clearly going in circle for a while, so as per my own rules on software, ill use them here as well.
I don’t care how much effort you spent, I care about what is reported to waydroid devs. maybe instead of bashing your head against a wall, try reporting the issue. could be a lot more productive, waydroid works on intel and amd gpus, and will automatically fall back to software rendering on nvidia gpus.
there are a couple known issues around multi-gpu that are being worked on, but doesn’t seem to be your issue. wayland works fine, X11+wayland works fine. xfce, lxqt, etc work fine when using a nested compositor. at this point, I can only assume the issues you have are made up in your head to try and shit on waydroid project.
