It's been a while since the last time this was asked, so here goes again: what specific apps do you use Waydroid to run?

Whenever I get the itch to play around with this impressive project, I quickly remember that I can't think of anything to actually do with it. There's already a Linux native app for almost everything that isn't an ad infested game, so I'm curious if anyone has use cases for Waydroid that they can share. I'd love to hear about something cool that I didn't think of!

Question, how's the performance on Waydroid? I know using something that fully emulates an Android environment tends to get slow on slower (5th gen i3 or celeron equivalents) computers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
