It's less secure, but the host<->guest seperation is there.
what does Ubuntu touch have to do with this? I explicitly refered to the greater ax86 ecosystem.
It's still really basic, but has loads of potential, Unforunately it has a hard requirement on GTK, otherwise there are a few things that would have been nice for greater AX86 in general, for instance they have mediacodec->vaapi support, something ax86 has... struggled with in the past. but we can't use it since we can't use gtk.
it's worth noting that no actual security problems have been presented that haven't been dealt with, Sandboxing is available on any distro assuming the tools are made availible. Waydroid supports both apparmor and selinux, please report any security issues and tag the maintainers when doing so.
EDIT: you do need to set apparmor into enforce mode manually though.
correct on both accounts.
Thankfully nested compositor, while not perfect, work really well for most use cases.
You won't get native multi-window support, because I don't think there are any nested compositors that work like that. There was a project in the past, but I'm pretty sure it's dead now. However, if you looking for something like a blue stack, it's alternative where you're only trying to play one game at a time, then waydroid with a nested compositor will work fine.
I apologize for the rock writing. I'm using speech 2 text.
I actually recommend using Niri lately. It's not super great, but it does support multi-touch, which is major.
I hope cosmic supports it at some point because cosmic actually supports operating in kiosk mode, and also uses smithay.
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.
ofc I do, that is why I explicitly mentioned the features I was talking about...
it was forked a while ago now though so the code bases can be quite different.
very exciting indeed. can't wait to try it out when federated tickets and PRs are a thing.
ah my bad, I had thought I made it clear, I mean the greater android x86, Blisslabs projects like Bliss OS and waydroid, other projects like WSL2, tho that is dead... some chromeOS stuff too.
