- M95D 1y agoNo, not like that. Not in a container and display through wayland. Native and instead of wayland.
- righthand 1y agoNative instead of Wayland is just called Android.
- cogman10 1y agoContainers are native. They aren't (usually) emulators. They are shipping the entire OS with the runnable, but the runnable is still ultimately working with the host kernel and the host memory spaces. As for Wayland v X11. Wayland has gotten pretty nice over the last year or so. It's much more straight forward to work with vs the old fiddly xorg.conf files.

I don't think they wanted Xorg, I think they were asking for SurfaceFlinger rendering directly to hardware with no intermediate layer.
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y agoIt's not hard to run waydroid on cage as the whole desktop, at which point I don't think there's a meaningful distinction.
- criddell 1y ago> Android GUI on Linux Isn’t that exactly what Android is? A GUI on a Linux kernel?
- M95D 1y agoIt is, but I want the linux kernel, init, gnu coreutils and package managers from linux. From Android, just the GUI, not everything else.
