How does Nvidia dGPU fare with WayDroid?

Curious because I want to test around with linux (and waydroid), but I recall reading that its only good with intel GPU and AMD GPU.

If it helps, its an Nvidia RTX 4500 Mobile Ada Generation (so those workstation GPU, but iirc RTX 3070 mobile - 3080 mobile equivalent)

How to install Android on CachyOS?

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully installed Waydroid on CachyOS, because I've been trying for several days and I always end up running into a different issue.

I've managed to install Waydroid along with all the required dependencies, including the ARM translation libraries. However, once I finally get it running, a lot of problems start showing up.

Some of the issues I've encountered are:

  • Severe graphical glitches.
  • Waydroid sometimes doesn't start at all.
  • Wi-Fi or audio randomly stop working inside Waydroid.
  • I can't install Android applications.
  • Some apps that require ARM translation constantly crash or simply won't open.
  • Even when Waydroid does start, it's almost unusable because of the graphical glitches.

I've already tried pretty much everything:

  • Followed the official documentation.
  • Searched for solutions on forums and GitHub.
  • Used AI tools and did extensive research.
  • Reinstalled everything from scratch multiple times.
  • Tried both the regular kernel and the LTS kernel.

Despite all that, I always end up with one or more of these issues and can't get a stable installation.

So I wanted to ask:

  • Does Waydroid actually work properly on CachyOS, or are these issues still common?
  • Is there a specific installation procedure that avoids all these problems?
  • Is there any additional configuration required to get hardware acceleration and ARM applications working correctly?

If anyone has a working setup, I'd really appreciate it if you could share the steps you followed or point me to a guide that actually works.

Thanks in advance!

Free fire

Anybody playing Free fire on waydroid ?

Before 9th anniversary update i used to play the free fire(x86) in waydroid downloaded from browser it has inbuilt keybindings ,no need for key mapping but after the 9the anniversary update,no x86 version available,so I searched online for that and found waydroid-scripts to download and other architecture like arm64-v8a and others ,and it is very useful, because after the script installation, directly installed Free fire from playstore itself in waydroid but there is no keyboard option like previous, anybody know?

Is it really possible to use Waydroid to play Android games on Linux PC right now?

I'm using Linux Mint.

The last time I tried Waydroid to play ARM apps and games on my laptop (x86_64), it showed a lot of bugs (even with libhoudini or libndk).

So I wanna ask if it's possible to play games like PUBG or some game like that on Linux PC?

Thanks for reading this!

Best way to map keyboard keys to touch controls in Waydroid? (Clash Royale)

Olá!

Estou executando jogos de Android no Waydroid em Nobara Linux (Wayland) e gostaria de mapear teclas do teclado para posições de toque fixas na tela, semelhante ao recurso de mapeamento de teclas encontrado em emuladores de Android como BlueStacks ou LDPlayer.

Meus jogos principais são Clash Royale e Pokémon Unite, mas gostaria de uma solução geral que funcione com qualquer jogo de Android no Waydroid.

Existe alguma ferramenta que faça isso ou eu precisaria criar algo usando uinput, evdevou outra abordagem?

Não tenho problemas em usar scripts, se necessário, então soluções prontas e de baixo nível são bem-vindas.

Obrigado!
