Running Android Apps on Linux: Installing Waydroid on Ubuntu

infoivonblog.nkfjt@aleeas.com (Ivon Huang) — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 23:00:00 +0800

“Waydroid” is software that lets you run Android apps on Linux.

Waydroid can log in to the Google Play Store to download apps and install many commonly used apps. Waydroid also supports GPU hardware acceleration, so it can play many Android mobile games.

Waydroid’s system is built on LineageOS, and the underlying technology comes from Canonical’s container technology “Anbox”. A new development team has made its features more complete.

Waydroid is containerization technology, not a virtual machine. Because it uses LXC and can use GPU acceleration, Waydroid consumes fewer resources and runs faster than Android Studio’s emulator!

Looking at Waydroid’s design, this project superficially resembles Windows 11’s Android subsystem (WSA), allowing users to use Android apps while operating Linux. Among the many Android emulator solutions for Linux, Waydroid is one that integrates relatively well with the desktop system.

This article lets Ivon explain how to install Waydroid on Ubuntu.

1. Prerequisites
#

Please confirm that you meet the following requirements before installing Waydroid.

CPU Architecture
#

As for computer architecture, Waydroid supports Ubuntu computers on both x86 and ARM architectures. The installer will determine this automatically when installing packages.

However, note that many mobile games only provide ARM APKs and cannot be used on x86 computers. After installing Waydroid on an x86 computer, you still need to manually install an ARM translator to translate ARM instructions into x86, but this may increase the chance of app runtime errors. Therefore, ideally, an ARM Ubuntu computer is better, since you would not need to install an ARM translator.

GPU Model
#

Make sure you are not using an Nvidia graphics card. At present, Waydroid only supports Intel and AMD graphics cards (integrated graphics are also fine). According to the developers, because Nvidia’s closed source driver does not follow graphics driver standards, Nvidia graphics cards will show a black screen. The latest Nvidia closed source driver is now version 590, and this issue has not yet been solved. You can check progress on Github.

Therefore, Nvidia graphics card users have three solutions: 1. Use integrated graphics to run Waydroid 2. Use software rendering 3. Use other Android emulator solutions.

Some Intel and AMD CPUs have integrated graphics, though perhaps you are not using them. Use the vulkaninfo --summary command to print the current primary graphics card model of your computer.

How do you confirm whether your computer has integrated graphics? Use the sudo lshw -C display command to print all graphics cards on the computer and see whether there is a GPU model other than Nvidia. For example, my Intel i5-7400 CPU has UHD 630, and this integrated GPU is enough for some light mobile games. Go to your motherboard UEFI settings and switch to booting with integrated graphics, and then you can use Waydroid.

Linux Kernel Version
#

Waydroid depends on the Linux kernel’s binder module. The ANDROID_BINDER option must be enabled when compiling the kernel. Linux 6.0 kernels installed on Ubuntu 24.04 or later should all have it enabled, so no other configuration is needed.

If you are not sure, use the following command to check whether this option is enabled in the kernel configuration:

cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep BINDER

Wayland Display Protocol
#

Waydroid requires a desktop using the Wayland display protocol to start.

Ubuntu’s default desktop environment is GNOME. Please make sure your current desktop environment is using a Wayland session. Open a terminal and enter the following command to check:

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

If the output is not wayland, that means you are still using X11. Please log out of Ubuntu, click the gear icon in the lower-right corner when entering your password, and choose Ubuntu or an option without Xorg to log in.

2. Install Waydroid
#

The commands here only apply to Ubuntu and Debian. For other Linux distributions, please refer to the official documentation.

Install the following packages, including Waydroid and the packages that later scripts will use

sudo apt install curl ca-certificates lzip python3 python3-pip

Install the following packages so Linux and Waydroid can share the clipboard. One Python package is not included in Ubuntu’s package repository, so it must be forcibly installed with pip

sudo apt install wl-clipboard xclip

sudo pip install pyclip --break-system-packages

Run the official Waydroid repository script to install Waydroid. The installation script should automatically detect the system version

curl https://repo.waydro.id | sudo bash

sudo apt install waydroid

Initialize Waydroid and download the image with built-in GAPPS. If you do not add the -s GAPPS parameter, Waydroid will download the vanilla image without GMS services.

sudo waydroid init -s GAPPS -f

Start the Waydroid container service

sudo systemctl start waydroid-container

# Start automatically on boot
sudo systemctl enable waydroid-container

Click the “Waydroid” icon in the application list to start Waydroid. This icon has the same function as running the waydroid show-full-ui command.
Waydroid’s default interface is English. Please go to Android system settings to change the language, drag Traditional Chinese to the top, and adjust the time zone.
If Waydroid cannot connect to the network, try opening UFW firewall ports, then restart Waydroid:

sudo ufw allow 53

sudo ufw allow 67

sudo ufw default allow FORWARD

sudo ufw reload

sudo systemctl restart waydroid-container

3. Recommended Things to Do After Installation
#

Ivon strongly recommends that you install the Google Play Store and pass device certification, as well as install an ARM translator.

Typing with a On-Screen Keyboard on Linux Touchscreens (X11 & Wayland Desktops)

infoivonblog.nkfjt@aleeas.com (Ivon Huang) — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 19:00:00 +0800

Use virtual / on-screen keyboard on Linux devices with touch screen.

If you use Linux tablets like the Microsoft Surface, Lenovo Yoga, Pine64 PineTab, or Librem Tab, you will probably run into touchscreen text input sooner or later. Can we type Chinese with an on-screen keyboard?

Touch devices usually provide a virtual keyboard for typing. On Windows we have the on-screen keyboard, so what about Linux?

That depends on which Linux desktop environment you use, and whether it runs on the X11 or Wayland display protocol. It gets messy fast, so I will split it by desktop environment.

1. Touchscreen Keyboards by Desktop Environment
#

GNOME
#

The default desktop environment for distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian. Latest version: GNOME 50

GNOME 40 and later include a built-in on-screen keyboard, available on both X11 and Wayland.

In System Settings → Accessibility, enable the on-screen keyboard.

After that, tapping the screen will bring up the OSK keyboard. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open it.

But I think GNOME’s built-in keyboard is too bare-bones. I recommend using the GNOME Extension Manager to install GJS OSK, which gives you a more complete on-screen keyboard.

KDE Plasma
#

The default desktop environment for Kubuntu, Fedora Spin, openSUSE, and SteamOS. Latest version: KDE Plasma 6.6

KDE’s touch keyboard has a lot of problems and is not very stable. You need at least KDE Plasam 6.6 or later before it starts becoming more usable.

The Plasma Login Manager login screen has a Maliit Keyboard virtual keyboard.

On KDE with the X11 protocol, there is no good solution. There is qtvirtualkeyboard, but it only works with programs using the QT framework. I recommend installing onboard directly.

KDE on Wayland uses Maliit Keyboard, which is based on an input method originally developed for MeeGo. You may need to install the Mallit Keyboard package manually:

sudo apt install maliit-keyboard

Then go to System Settings → Keyboard → Virtual Keyboard, and enable Maliit Keyboard.

Click the input method icon in the system tray to wake the keyboard. Swipe down to close it.

Maliit Keyboard supports Zhuyin and Pinyin input methods.

Also, Maliit Keyboard cannot be used together with the Fcitx5 input method, because Maliit Keyboard and Fcitx5 are both started through KDE Plasma’s virtual keyboard mechanism. You can only use one at a time.

If you want to use an on-screen keyboard to emulate keyboard input events and type Chinese through Fcitx5, you need to switch to fcitx5-osk.

Other Desktop Environments
#

First, for desktops running the X11 protocol: XFCE, Cinnamon, LXQT, and i3wm do not have their own on-screen keyboards, but since they all run on X11, installing onboard is enough. GNOME X11 and KDE Plasma X11 can also use this keyboard.

sudo apt install onboard

The Onboard keyboard is highly customizable. You can choose layouts according to your screen size.

It can also emulate physical keyboard input, so it can work with Fcitx5 for typing Hanyu Pinyin.

Basically, onboard only works properly on X11 desktops. Under Wayland it can only run through XWayland, and there are plenty of bugs.

Next, desktops running the Wayland protocol.

For desktop environments or compositors written on top of wlroots, such as Sway, Hyprland, XFCE, use wvkbd for typing. It is a minimalist Linux on-screen keyboard written in C, and it can emulate keyboard input events. Its appearance is customizable.

Phosh includes the Squeekboard keyboard, which cannot be used in other desktop environments.

KDE Plasma Mobile 6 includes Maliit Keyboard. It supports Chinese Zhuyin, but it is unstable.

Ubuntu Touch includes Maliit Keyboard. It supports Chinese Zhuyin and is currently the only input method that is genuinely usable. It can only be used in the Lomiri desktop environment.

2. Typing Chinese with a Touchscreen Keyboard
#

Unfortunately, Linux touchscreen keyboards almost all support only English, and they cannot display Zhuyin on the keys. So you need to make good use of keyboards that emulate physical keyboard input events.

Take the GNOME desktop with GJS OSK as an example.

Install Fcitx5 and enable the Hanyu Pinyin input method. Also install Input Method Panel to display the input method icon.

Then use the on-screen keyboard to press CTRL + Space to switch input methods, or tap the en keyboard icon in the system tray to switch input methods. After that, you can type Chinese using English letters.

Termux proot-distro usage: Install Linux distros on Android Phone

infoivonblog.nkfjt@aleeas.com (Ivon Huang) — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 02:00:00 +0800

This article discusses how to use proot-distro to install Linux distributions.

Termux, as a terminal emulator, can install Linux distributions on a phone with the proot-distro tool, without root privileges.

For example, you can install Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Alpine Linux, Fedora, Debian, openSUSE, and so on.

Running Debian on Sony Xperia 10 V

Linux distributions installed by proot-distro only have a text interface. The graphical interface has to be configured yourself.

If you find that troublesome, you can refer to the automated scripts provided at the end of the article.

1. What are proot & proot-distro?
#

On a GNU/Linux computer system, we can use the chroot command to create an isolated Linux environment. This is the earliest container concept, which appeared before cgroups. After switching into it through the chroot command, it feels as if you have entered another system. For example, using debootstrap on Ubuntu to create a Debian environment, then running a Debian environment.

chroot is neither a virtual machine nor an emulator, because the inside of a chroot container shares the Linux kernel with the host and shares many system resources.

2. How to use proot-distro commands
#

Open Termux and install the proot-distro package

pkg install proot-distro

Use the following command to see which distributions are available online

proot-distro install

Currently available distributions include Alpine Linux, Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, and the isolated Termux environment termux-docker. More Linux distributions can be found on Docker Hub.
Suppose you want to install Debian, run the following command to install the latest Debian Stable. Some distributions can automatically detect the OCI Registry without requiring the full name. However, if it displays “not found,” you will need to type the full name.

proot-distro install debian

After downloading, log in to the system:

proot-distro login debian

After logging in, you will be the root account. Enter apt update, then you can start installing packages. After use, enter exit to leave the system.
If you want to continue configuring Proot-distro’s graphical environment and audio server, and localize it into Chinese, refer to: Termux Proot Debian for the remaining setup.
If you need to run multiple instances of the same Linux distribution, use --name followed by different names, for example:

proot-distro install debian --name debian-1
proot-distro install debian --name debian-2

Command to remove a proot system:

proot-distro remove debian

Delete downloaded rootfs cache:

proot-distro clear-cache

3. proot-distro command arguments
#

Refer to the Github documentation. You can use the following arguments after the proot-distro login debian command:

--: execute a command after login. For example, the content after -- below logs into proot and executes sshd, and is not an argument for proot-distro.

proot-distro login debian -- /usr/bin/sshd

--user: the user to log in as

--redirect-ports: redirect low-numbered ports. Because of proot, programs such as SSH daemon that use low-numbered port 22 will have problems. After using this option, SSH’s port is redirected to 2022 (that is, default port + 2000).

--isolated: do not mount /sdcard or /data/data/com.termux inside proot.

By default, proot-distro bind mounts the phone’s internal storage to the /sdcard directory of the proot system. In other words, running rm -rf inside the proot Linux system can also delete files on the phone.

In addition, Termux also mounts its own PATH inside proot. For example, when you execute a Python command, you may end up running Termux’s version. Using this option ensures that Python commands execute Python inside proot Linux.

--termux-home: mount Termux’s home directory to the home directory inside proot Linux. Therefore, the user’s home directory inside proot-distro becomes shared with the Termux home directory, and files generated by programs will end up outside proot-distro.

--shared-tmp: mount Termux’s tmp directory to tmp inside proot Linux.

--bind path:path: an extra path to mount, in the format <external path>:<path inside Proot Linux>

--no-link2symlink: disable the PRoot link2symlink extension module, turning off proot’s hard-link emulation. This can only be used when SELinux is permissive or disabled.

--no-sysvipc: disable PRoot’s System V IPC emulation. Use only when encountering crashes.

--no-kill-on-exit: do not kill all processes when logging out.

4. How to back up proot-distro
#

Termux’s backup command does not back up proot-distro; it needs to be backed up separately.

Use this command to back up the proot system as an archive to the phone’s internal storage. For example, backing up debian files:

proot-distro backup --output storage/shared/debianbackup.tar.gz debian

Use this command to restore the proot system:

proot-distro restore debianbackup.tar.gz

Appendix: Automatically install Proot Distro with scripts
#

Github has many lazy scripts that help you handle Linux + graphical interface installation. Usually, copying and pasting is enough.

However, some of them do not use proot-distro, but install directly with the proot command. Therefore, that distribution may not be removable with the proot-distro discussed in this article.

How to install Arch Linux ARM on Android phone (Termux Proot-distro)

infoivonblog.nkfjt@aleeas.com (Ivon Huang) — Sun, 31 May 2026 17:00:00 +0800

Proot-distro of Termux allows you to install Linux distributions on your Android phone. No root required. Proot-distros are containers, which are limited but still possible to run some dekstop appliations in it.

Arch Linux is a Linux distribution that emphasizes simplicity, requiring users to install the system according to their own needs, so the installation process requires manual command-line input. Here, Arch Linux ARM is being installed, a branch of the original Arch Linux. The original version focuses on the x86 architecture, and some x86-based packages may not be available on ARM, but the AUR is still available.

In this article, I will guide you to install Proot Arch Linux ARM with a Desktop Environment from scratch (kind of) in Termux.

You would have to install the whole system from command lines.

1. Prerequisites
#

Make sure your device has 10GB+ storage and 4GB+ RAM.

My Device:Sony Xperia 10 V (Android 16)

Install Termux
Install Termux X11
Install virglrenderer

2. Install Proot Arch Linux base system
#

Scroll down the top menu, press ACQUIRE WAKELOCK to keep Termux running in the background.

Install proot-distro, pulseaudio, vim

pkg update
pkg install proot-distro pulseaudio vim

Install Proot Arch Linux (base system)

proot-distro install archlinux/archlinux:latest

proot-distro login archlinux  --user root --shared-tmp

3. Switch mirrors and update system pacakges
#

(Optional) Go to mirror list to pick a fastest mirror in your country. Then edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with vi. Replace every link before $repo to the mirror link.
Update system

pacman -Syu

4. Add a normal user
#

Change password of root

passwd

Add a new useruser. Then add him to group wheel and change his password.

pacman -S sudo vim
useradd -m -g users -G wheel,audio,video,storage -s /bin/bash user
passwd user

Add user user to sudoers. Edit/etc/sudoerswith vi, add following lines beneath"root ALL=(ALL) ALL":

user ALL=(ALL) ALL

Make sure you login to Arch as a normal user. Never login as root.

su user
cd

5. Install a Desktop Environment and common tools
#

Install Firefox, Noto Fonts, SSH and other common tools

sudo pacman -S vim firefox networkmanager xorg xorg-server pulseaudio noto-fonts git openssh fakeroot base-devel

Install yay - the AUR helper:

sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -si

Edit /etc/makepkg.conf with vim. Uncomment MAKEFLAGS="-j2". Change -j2 to -j + (2 x phone processor cores). This could speed up AUR compiling time.
Install XFCE4 Desktop environment

sudo pacman -S xfce4 xfce4-goodies lightdm

6. Timezone & hostname & locales
#

Setup timezone

sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime

Edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts to rename your machine.
Edit /etc/locale.gen, uncomment your language, for example en_US.UTF-8
Generating locales

sudo locale-gen
echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.conf

7. Start desktop enviornment manually
#

Congrats! Now you have installed Arch Linux on your Android phone! Read below to learn how to desktop enviornment manully.

Relaunch Termux
Launch Termux X11 app, keep it opening in the background. Go back to Termux and type the following commands to run Termux X11.

pulseaudio --start --exit-idle-time=-1
pacmd load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1 auth-anonymous=1

export DISPLAY=:0
termux-x11 :0 &

virgl_test_server_android &

proot-distro login archlinux --user user --shared-tmp

Start desktop environment

export DISPLAY=:0
PULSE_SERVER=tcp:127.0.0.1
dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4 &

You shall see XFCE4 desktop showing at Termux X11. Tap floating window and revoke permission to make it go full screen.

8. Start desktop environment in one-click
#

We can use Termux Widget to start everything automatically. Thanks to Korean developers’ tutorial!

Install Termux Widget
Go to system settings → all apps, turn on “Permit Drawing Over Other Apps” for Termux.
Restart Termux. Create a shortcut in Termux (not in proot-distro)

mkdir .shortcuts
vim .shortcuts/startproot_arch.sh

Type these

#!/bin/bash

killall -9 termux-x11 pulseaudio virgl_test_server_android termux-wake-lock

am start --user 0 -n com.termux.x11/com.termux.x11.MainActivity
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=${TMPDIR}
termux-x11 :0 -ac &
sleep 3

pulseaudio --start --exit-idle-time=-1
pacmd load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1 auth-anonymous=1

virgl_test_server_android &

proot-distro login archlinux --user user --shared-tmp -- bash -c "export DISPLAY=:0 PULSE_SERVER=tcp:127.0.0.1; dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4"

Make it executable.

chmod +x .shortcuts/startproot_arch.sh

Go to your home screen, long press and add widgets → select “Termux Widget”. You would see the shortcut we made is on the list.
Click “startproot_arch.sh” then the XFCE desktop would opened automatically.
Swipe down the notification bar, click Preferences of Termux X11. Then you can switch touch screen mode to simulating touchpad.
To use soft keyboard of phone in Termux X11, swipe the bar at the bottom and you will see a field for inputing texts.
If the fonts are too small in Termux X11, click Settings Manager at top-left → Appearance and change font size or select 2x window scaling.
To stop the XFCE session, press CTRL+C in Termux. Then logout of proot Arch Linux.

There is no end though there is a start in space. — Infinite. It has (its) own power, it ruins, and it goes though there is a start also in the star. — Finite. Only the person who (has) wisdom can read the most foolish one from the history. The fish that lives in the sea doesn’t know the world in the land. It also ruins and goes if they have wisdom. It is funnier that man exceeds the speed of light than fish start living in the land. It can be said that this is (a) final ultimatum from the god to the people who can fight.
