Apparently, MX doesn’t support Waydroid but you can install waydroid anyways by doing this https://lemmy.ml/post/5273603

OS: MX x86_64 | Kernel: 6.0.0-6mx-amd64 | Shell: bash 5.1.4

Linux version 6.0.0-6mx-amd64 (stevep@mxlinux.org) (gcc-10 (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.0.12-1~mx21+1 (2022-12-15)

So, I added the repo using command curl https://repo.waydro.id | sudo bash (this adds the repo right)

Apparently, it was supposed to show me my distro and it didn’t. So, I want to know what I should give as the -s value.

Also, the iso though which I installed MX-Linux reads MX-21.3_ahs_x64

And when I try to update my system

I don’t know what the script was supposed to do but it looks like it just ran sudo apt update and nothing else. ___

    The DE is the limiting factor here. MX uses XFCE, which does not yet support Wayland. For that, you’ll need to use KDE Plasma or Gnome. The former requires an additional wayland session package to be installed, while Gnome comes with it by default.

    You could create a new user session, install whichever one you prefer and then see if that works with Waydroid.

      I guess it saved me that I yesterday installed Gnome de (on my MX xfce 21) and today I was able to successfully install Waydroid!
