From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What do you use Waydroid for? (sh.itjust.works)

I tried Waydroid on Arch and its amazing. It runs Android apps flawlessly. And with a touchscreen device, I feel like I have an Android tablet running inside my Linux machine.

But I still don't know what to use it for...

What apps do you use with Waydroid? What use cases do you have for it?

I haven't gotten to it, but I'd like to try and set it up as an android TV replacement. Just have distro of choice load on boot with Bluetooth remote/controller for input

I'd imagine the drm would ruin that plan. No HD streaming.

I did have some scripts to do this more properly but the shift to A11 broke a lot of stuff, I plan on revisting it when the A13 (or was it A12) work is done and released as stable.
