      It is definitely very performant. However, it was a pain to set up when I first tried to use it. First installing it, then installing an ARM to x86 compatibility layer, and then certifying the device for Google Play to work (which in hindsight isn’t necessary considering that Aurora Store exists.)

        Certifying isn’t too bad, I’ve done it 7 of 8 times now probably because I keep nuking my machines

        Why do you need a compatibility layer? It runs x86 lineageos doesn’t it?

          There are good amount of applications that are only armed. Google actually might be getting an open source arm to x86 emulator/native bridge.

          If they do, then waydroid can include translation directly, but as it stands, there are no open source translators, so it’s not something waydroid can ship.
