I tried Waydroid on Arch and its amazing. It runs Android apps flawlessly. And with a touchscreen device, I feel like I have an Android tablet running inside my Linux machine.

But I still don’t know what to use it for…

What apps do you use with Waydroid? What use cases do you have for it?

    you might want to look into stremio or the servarr suite if youre having to jump through these hoops anyway

      waydroid is pretty easy to get working - and I think will be usable by the actual end user once set up.

      I did look at stremio but I couldn’t see a way to do the offline downloads thing on netflix.
      That is a desirable feature for the person who travels a lot and they just want to have some videos for when they’re off-line or on limited bandwidth like on the train or bus.

      This servarr thing looks way more complex - though I admit I might be a bit too dim for it as I couldn’t figure out what it actually does.
      Thanks for the suggestions though - waydroid looks easiest to meet all the needs. I’m sure someone smarter than me will have fun with that weird servarr suggetion - it does seem to have a whole lot of features.
