I can't help you with nvidia, but the Wayland thing can be worked around quite easily by running it under a nested compositor like cage. (This is how I run waydroid under Xorg)

thanks. good to hear that. i just have to wait for nvidia support now.

Have you tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Waydroid#Software_rendering ? Obviously not ideal, but possibly functional.

There's for example redroid (https://github.com/remote-android/redroid-doc) which seems to be exactly that. Android inside a container.

X86 builds of Android are stuck at many generations back of the OS. Running Android in a VM on X86 is basically dead AFAIK. :(

I'm actually optimistic that this will improve. Google has apparently been working on replacing Chrome OS with android, which I have pretty strong opinions on but the upside is that if they want to go that route they're going to have to make Android officially work well on x86, at which point there's no reason that eg. LineageOS wouldn't be expected to follow suit.

You could run a windows VM and run windows subsystem for android.

Windows subsystem for Android is deprecated. There's a community maintained alternative but it seems to have a few problems wrt. Windows updates.

The community maintained version seems to work okay most of the time, but you're correct a better solution is needed.
