Also, if you want to run something else in Waydroid, it can't run in parallel for some reason. So I'd have to kill Signal to run my banking app for example, then restart Signal - and be careful never to close the window as I use the cellphone throughout the day. Not super usable... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 6 months ago (2 children) thats kinda cursed permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 2 points 6 months ago (1 child) Yep. Signal on mobile Linux - or the lack thereof - is entirely what's still keeping me on Android. Other than that, UBPorts is perfectly usable for me.
