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

    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
