    Good video, also reinforces my decision to not install waydroid. I had it on my previous linux phone, and while it worked, it was a memory hog and quite slow. Which on the PPP made it even worse. Speed shouldn’t be an issue on my new FP6, but going trough all the trouble to get a linux phone and then installing android seems counterproductive. Ofcourse if you absolutely need an android app, it is better then nothing ofcourse. but ideally you wouldn’t need waydroid.

    also am i the only one that finds the ubuntu sidebar while “fine” on desktop is even worse on phones? or am i too plasma biased?

      I found the same experience on the pixel 3a xl UT running Wayland. It’s too much of a bother to work with. I will make use of the Openstore library as is.
