[SOLVED] Installing Waydroid on MX-Linux
(lemmy.ml)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The DE is the limiting factor here. MX uses XFCE, which does not yet support Wayland. For that, you'll need to use KDE Plasma or Gnome. The former requires an additional wayland session package to be installed, while Gnome comes with it by default.
You could create a new user session, install whichever one you prefer and then see if that works with Waydroid.
I guess it saved me that I yesterday installed Gnome de (on my MX xfce 21) and today I was able to successfully install Waydroid!
