Waydroid works, but there’s three main things you need to get things going to replicate a typical Android device:
There are some automated scripts that can set this all up. I used this one in the past with some success.
Also, stay away from nVidia. From what I recall, it just doesn’t work, or there are other issues like crashes. But if you’re serious about Linux in general, then ditching nVidia is generally a good idea.
Finally, games that use anti-cheat can be a hit-or-miss (like Genshin Impact, which crashed when I last tried it). But that’s something that you may face on any emulator, I mean, any decent anti-cheat system would detect the usage of emulators.
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.
