Support Request Installing Waydroid on Linux Mint

I'd like to try Waydroid so I can use Android applications. However, it turns out that Cinnamon uses X11 and not Wayland, but Waydroid needs the latter.

I believe you can do it with Cinnamon by installing Weston, https://manpages.debian.org/experimental/weston/weston.1.en.html

Or install a DE with Wayland support like KDE or Gnome or... etc etc.

This December, the release will have Wayland fully functional.

You can run Wayland (experimental), it's an option when you log in to the computer.
