A container-based approach to boot a full Android system on regular GNU/Linux systems running Wayland based desktop environments.
Using Waydroid's Multi-Window Mode
Brought To Life With Waydroid
With Waydroids Fullscreen Mode For Desktops & Kiosks
Waydroid uses Linux namespaces (user, pid, uts, net, mount, ipc) to run a full Android system in a container and provide Android applications on any GNU/Linux-based platform (arm, arm64, x86, x86_64). The Android system inside the container has direct access to needed hardware through LXC and the binder interface.
The Project is completely free and open-source, currently our repo is hosted on Github.
