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

    I dont? Like i said, mainly tiling AND a select view graphical enviroments,

    Gnome i find entirely unusable,

    and enlightement just takes apples infuriating design choices,

    And those, for me, are quite the limited selections to make it work

    Edit: if it where to workwith a for me much more to use de like cinnamon or xfce, than id be more inclined to properly dive into it

      again, it will work on pretty much any wayland environment, if you need it to work on x11, it can work there too, just use a nested compositor like cage. I have personally verified that you can use waydroid via cage on top of xfce.

        I have no idea what you just said, nested compositor? Cage?,

        But thats myoriginal point,

        This makes it defacto unusable for people who dont want a hackerman solution, or jumping through hoops you have to research

        Imagine telling that to a total newbie now who just wants their apps on linux like nox or bluestacks do

            and there we are again, thats where it so often ends up on linux doesnt it? "it works for me so " or, as i like to interpret it “it works for me so there is no need to make it easier”

            i have absolutely nothing against you, truly, but this is the exact same point i have seen repeated ad nauseam for so many different problems exclusive to linux

            just because difficult works for some people, doesnt mean i shouldnt be allowed to complain about the fact there is no easier option

              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

                    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 mentality you 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” mentality
