Waydroid is a container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system.
In Parch Linux there is a script called waydroid-helper^PPR^ which can be used to install waydroid with a non-gapps image (an android image without google apps such as play store ) on Parch Linux.
For start you need to install the Script from Parch Packages Repository:
sudo pacman -S waydroid-helperTo check whether if your system is compatible with waydroid, you need to run waydroid-checker script.
waydroid-checkerAfter running it you will be prompted with this screen:
Click on Start Test to begin.
After the test is finished, if your CPU passed you can continue with the installation
you can run the waydroid-installer script to begin the installation:
