I feel like this could be huge

I will be abusing the fuck outta this once it's forked and adapted for non-gaming purposes to avoid shitty electron apps forever. Most electron apps have Android equivalents that run way better and eat far less RAM. Can't wait ☺️

You can already do this with waydroid no? Afaik lepton is a fork.

If you can get Waydroid to work, sure.

I've had no such luck across different distros.

When they first announced it they said that they are by now far removed from Waydroid, making it work very differently. I guess that is why they didn't work with the Waydroid devs like they did with Wine.

Waydroid has never worked well on any system I've tried it on. And sadly, it doesn't really work on ARM Linux installs (ironically), which is one of the places I need it.

Lepton should work better on ARM systems since it doesn't also bundle x86_64 emulation. It leaves that to FEX, which is cleaner.
