Here’s the script I use to start and stop Waydroid:

#!/bin/bash
PID=$(pgrep "weston")
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
    waydroid session stop
    kill $PID
    exit
fi
weston --width=1920 --height=1080 --socket=wayland-1 &>/dev/null &
sleep 2
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland waydroid show-full-ui

Change the resolution to whatever you need it to be. Run it once to start, again to stop. It just lives on my desktop.

I have waydroid working great in the latest Mint. You need Weston so Waydroid has a Wayland to connect to.

e: or use the experimental Wayland in 21.3 but it’s not ready for daily driving

Rescue disk 🤣 It’s hard enough to find a drive much less a disk.

Next time keep your old kernel around a while, you can always boot it to fix a goof instead of messing around with rescue images.

I use Mint 21. Checkmate.
