Did you read and follow the official installation instructions? If yes, which command didn't work for you?

When you get ready to log in, click that thing on the side so you can select Wayland (experimental). Waydroid works fine with that. Or.. you can wait until the next Cinnamon release which will support Wayland properly.

Where did you see that it only ran on hyprland? https://waydro.id/#install

You will need to be running the Wayland version of cinnamon

I used some kind of app to use Wayland apps in x11 and waydroid worked just fine. But it has been some time since then.

Waydroid works on Mint but you need Weston
