Do you use it? What are the drawbacks?
Afaik battery drain is very bad when using apps through Waydroid.
How does Waydroid works with background apps? Is it possible to launch a foreground app with waydroid then close it and discharge waydroid (to avoid battery drain) ?
Yes but for apps like Signal or WhatsApp you probably want them running all the time (in the background) which is not practical with waydroid right now due to its high battery usage. Running one OS on top of another has its toll even its in a container and not a vm. But its okay for foreground apps.
Especially if my goal is to move to linux to reduce battery drain!
dont know, sorry
i tried to. i have managed to install waydroid which boots into android inside linux, but now i have not yet managed to install signal inside. but i haven't spend much time on it.
