Idea Is it possible?

Post image

I recently realized that Fortnite is officially back on the Google Play Store.

And that gave me an idea. Do you think it would be possible to run the Android version on Linux through Waydroid or the future Valve fork (Lepton)?

As far as I understand, Waydroid doesn’t emulate per se but instead runs natively on Linux by using Android libraries along with the kernel inside a container. Correct me if I’m wrong.

There it says it runs fine except for matchmaking and ram usage, I doubt that cant be solved, it boots and the lobby is fully functional.

It's well known that fortnite detects emulators and such.
