What do you use Waydroid for? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

F1tv, Amazon music and that's about it more or less. I'll occasionally use it on my steam deck for some android games but I don't play more than maybe 3 or 4 android games total and that's rare.

    Can you explain the benefit of using F1TV app this way, instead of the browser? I'm genuinely curious if this gives a better experience in some way

    Yeah, Multiviewer is a huge PITA to use on steam deck since it gets wiped on updates, Brave, my browser of choice is explicitly blocked from the web version and I'm used to the android interface so it seemed right on my main PC since I already needed to do it this way on my deck.
