Package Information

Descriptioncontainer-based approach to boot a full Android system on GNU/Linux

container-based approach to boot a full Android system on regular GNU/Linux systems running Wayland based desktop environments.

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.

Note: Waydroid only works under a Wayland session.
