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.

I see. I knew most of the emulators lacked ARM support, which seemed to be the biggest issue, but this helps. Sadly, I have a 3080 and no money to buy a new card, so I stuck with nVidia for the foreseeable future. I'll have to test this when I get time, though. Thanks.

An nvidia GPU unfortunetly doesn't work with Waydroid at all. You would have to use CPU rendering which won't play any games. You might be able to use your CPUs iGPU if it has one.

You can try using scrcpy. It's sort of a remote desktop for Android. You can see your phone's screen on the PC and use mouse and keyboard with it.
