You can't run X11 programs on Wayland without Xwayland.

Likewise you cannot run Wayland programs on X11 without a wayland compositor like Cage (a wayland kiosk) or Weston. Both run as a window on X11 inside of which Waydroid works just fine.

It's an odd complaint that incompatible software is incompatible.

You read the parent I was responding to, no? You're reinforcing my point.

"Users who don't know about the feature can just use a pre-configured system like Mint Cinnamon and never know about any of these things."

I did. I agree it's not obvious. But you cannot run OpenGL, Vulkan, Glide or DirectX on Windows either without having the proper hardware and software installed. So yeah. Waydroid needs wayland. Anbox runs on X11.

I think that type of user wouldn't go out looking for an Android compatibility layer.
