Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here, I’m a newbie to Manjaro and I wanted to see how Waydroid performs as I wanted to play android games on my pc. But anything I see on how to download Waydroid in Manjaro, I find it confusing and don’t know what I’m doing. Can anyone please explain how I can download Waydroid so a newbie can understand? Thank you!
Hello,
waydroid is only available for ARM from our repositories.
If you want it on your desktop, you can build it from AUR (en) - waydroid
Either by using Pamac UI or via terminal:
pamac build waydroid
HI sorry, what do you mean by the build? Is it in the sense to build it so that it can be applied to desktops?
Ok, so you don’t know what AUR is. This should help Arch User Repository - ArchWiki
Waydroid is a container to boot and use and Android system on Linux. It can’t be applied to the desktop itself as VirtulBox can’t take over the session you are logging in your Manjaro DE with the difference that does have access to needed hardware because is using the Linux namespaces (user, pid, uts, net, mount, ipc).
