I have been fumbling off and on with Waydroid. First time I got it working was with an iso of Debian Bookworm from Waydroid website with Waydroid preinstalled. Ok, unpleasant to say the least mostly cause it had a castrated file manager that I couldnt sudo. So couldnt manually install the files I needed to get online. I ended up booting Easy from thumbdrive and using ROX to move around files. Grrrr... One would think it was windows or something.
Then yesterday/today downloaded and installed Fedora 39 cause I found simple recipe to install Waydroid on Fedora (it worked). It had the castrated no name file manager too. But I had internet access on it so installed Dolphin. Dang if they didnt castrate it too, it refused to run in root mode.
Ok who exactly are these folk trying to protect? I mean if its a multi-user computer, then just give limited user accounts, dont try to micromanage the owner of the computer. Assuming everybody that owns a computer is an idiot needing a babysitter, doesnt bode well for open source.
I finally installed MC, the old dual pane favorite. It would sudo. Yea for MC. But without a root file manager, you are forced to do all this via commandline. Next they wont even give anybody sudo I suppose. I mean this is supposed to be open source, not Microsoft and Google and Apple. People that want a fenced garden for a warm feeling of security cause they fear making a mistake, need to go to those folk.
