Was it ever actually supported? I was waiting for it to be ready to switch to Windows 11 since android emulators are all extremely heavy, I just remember it being on a preview version.
In my experience, Waydroid kinda sucked.
It used more resources than an Android Emulator on Windows did with less performance in games.
Of course, they’re different technologies (containerized vs VM) but the experience was vastly different.
It lacks so many QoL features. You can’t dynamically change resolution. Can’t bind keys by default (need to install something for it) etc
Wayland requirement was also a trouble for me (It didn’t work quite well and I kept running into issues)
Intel > AMD > Nvidia for Waydroid

What about waydroid? is it heavy as well?

I think if you are using hardware that has poor supports for wayland (e.g. nvidia), then poor performance of waydroid is kind of expected.
Yeah software rendering sucks a lot for Nvidia users. I’m on AMD.
I don’t know, I’m on Windows 10, was thinking of bluestacks and LDplayer that I use to play some gachas on PC.
It worked well. But only with Amazon AppStore apps, so nothing useful
This is what gets me. If they actually just let people install Android apps. It might have worked.
There was also nothing stopping you from sideloading apps. I used it with Auroa Store.
