Its not easy at all, I found it a real pain to set up if you dont use an apt based distro. Opensuse tumbleweed for example requires you use kernel modules not shipped by default and some third party repos.
"Now"? I used it two years ago or so, without any issues.
Arguably wayland still had a lot more issues 2 years ago. Now its the default on a few big distros.
We're talking about Waydroid, a method of running Android apps on Linux, not the display manager Wayland
Which requires using Wayland to function on normal linux desktops (hence the name i believe). Its not mentioned on wikipedia for some reason, but its the first thing when you go to their website. I wanted to try it a few years ago, but back then wayland just wasnt doing it for me. Might try it again soon tho.
