It would be cool if waydroid could be also DE. Especially on Linux mobile.

DE? In what sense? Why u would want this? It now integrates in existing Linux mobile where each android app looks like it different app launching

No so you can use waydroid as other DE like you can choose on login KDE and GNOME.

You can choose to run waydroid as your DE.

So, you just want an Android interface on a Linux phone?

The point of Waydroid is to ensure Android apps working on a Linux phone. DEs don't do that.

I always liked the potential of Waydroid... but in practice never used it.

If you actually use it, what do you use it for?

Advanced VPN tools as well as Tor are currently lacking on Linux ARM. So, anything that needs them goes straight into Waydroid.

Advanced? Like beyond Wireguard or OpenVPN?

Yes, things with censorship-resistant protocols like VLESS, Reality, AmneziaWG

Interesting, wondering if those will get upstreamed/folded back into WireGuard if not why not.

There is also android translation layer but I don't see any progress in it.

How do you not see the huge progress they make? Just look at all the commits.
