    Poorly Waydroid is just vaguely secure on Distros that use SELinux, as Android uses it as a major part of its app sandboxing (called SEAndroid).

    So if you run Waydroid on Ubuntu, which will be the most common way, (and to my knowledge was the first possible one, until aleasto packaged it on Fedora), you will have no sandboxing at all.

    Also the Waydroid container runs as root, even though unprivileged containers can also get access to all the stuff needed. Most notably, Bluetooth doesnt even work, even though Waydroid runs as root, lol.

    Waydroid is a perfect exable of a hacked solution simply ran as root, to circumvent any real solutions for the needed access.

    Also it uses Android 11, which for some reason I forgot was easier to port.

    The concept is cool though, just needs

    1. Upgrading to Android/GrapheneOS 14
    2. Running in a rootless and restricted container
    3. OR running in a VM, so that SELinux can work on all distros

        Yes, a rootful LXC container. At least to my knowledge.

        Thanks but Bluetooth, gabeldorsche, not network.

        And Android 13 is not 14, even though very interesting, didnt know that.

          You’re right. Sorry, I haven’t slept for like 48hrs. Words moving around and changing way more than usual (dyslexia on crack rn).

                Try just doing nothing, electric devices out of the room, close the curtains, nothing distracting :D
