Waydroid not launching with an NVIDIA GPU
Greetings, I have Bazzite on my laptop that has an NVIDIA GPU and for some reason, Waydroid doesn't seem to launch. What can I do to fix this?
Solution
Kwaydroid won't work on a nvidia gpu, no support for it
Kif you want any gpu acceleration at all you'd need AMD/Intel iGPU
CWHY IS LINUX LIKE THIS WITH NVIDIA? IT IS OUTRAGEOUS.
KIt's Nvidia's fault, they make a closed source driver that nobody but them can fix
KAnd they did anti-consumer actions to ensure the community made open source driver wouldn't work for anything except 2D clockspeeds for the last decade
CI'm speechless.
CWhat about Anbox? Does that work?
Kno
CAm I screwed?
CShould I switch back to Shitdows for gaming?
Kthere is no android solution for linux that works on nvidia at this time. There is an open source driver called NVK that should be functional within the next year
KSteam and other games will work fine
CWhat if the GPU is under a heavy load? Will I still get the best performance out of it?
COk.
CBy the way, I forgot to enroll in an MOK or something like that on the first boot. I don't have secure boot enabled. Even though I did have Windows 11 on it with secure boot turned off and I had no errors with it being turned off which sounds a bit strange.
KYou can re-enroll it from ujust
Kyou'll need the key enrolled for secure boot
CI don't have it enabled.
Kthen you don't need the key
Kbut you will if you decide you want to turn it on
CCool. I'm a bit worried whether I can't control the fans of the laptop since there isn't any official way from its manufacturer to control them on Linux.
