I also got excited. However some time ago I set up waydroid and once I got it all running smoothly I was like "what now?"
I didn't know any app or game that I wanted to play over the games that I have on my PC.
So my question would be: what do you want to play?
Yeah, most of "exciting" and impressive android games — either ports from big platform: Subnautica, Alien: Isolation, Tropico, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Little Nightmares, Hitman, GTA, Dead Cells, etc. Or straight up accessible on all platforms: Wuwa, Genshin, PlantsVsZombies, etc.
That being said, there still a few games that I personally would've play somewhat natively, cause they never got a release outside of android:
That probably it, tho
The only way to play galaxy on fire 2 (unironic peak) with all dlc is the android version, and my android phone can't run it because it's a 32bit game. So for me it'd be that.
Galaxy on Fire was so sick. That was the very first game I thought of when I read this
Not me, my kids (4 & 7). I wouldn't play a mobile game, I just want some apps that I can't avoid and aren't available on desktop.
I agree currently, but I'm excited about this because it creates a PC market for mobile games. This is good because mobile games have the worst MTX, but PC games normally can't get away with this. It could (unlikely, but possible) influence them to adapt to more of the PC market style.
I used Waydroid to get Apple Music running on Linux. It worked, but it wasn't a great experience, not least because it needed to be an older version of the app. Winapps was slightly better, but given that AM is only available as a UWP through the Windows Store, it was a pain in the arse to get running, then buggy when it was.
So these days I just play music through my phone.
Think there is an app called Cider that is apple music. It should be in your Linux app store.
Cider is ok, but doesn't allow for lossless audio.
