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.

It's been a while since the last time this was asked, so here goes again: what specific apps do you use Waydroid to run?

Whenever I get the itch to play around with this impressive project, I quickly remember that I can't think of anything to actually do with it. There's already a Linux native app for almost everything that isn't an ad infested game, so I'm curious if anyone has use cases for Waydroid that they can share. I'd love to hear about something cool that I didn't think of!

So far, the only thing I know for sure that I would consider using it for is to use JoiPlay to play RPG Maker games that I can't get working with my normal methods but at least on my current computer/distro, I'm having issues with audio crackling.

I might find other apps to use later but for the most part, I just kind of keep android apps to android.
