doesn't feature KWin Wayland (KDE)

Is there a specifc reason to use kwin? IIRC launching kwin directly without any of the KDE bits is not a great experience. if there is a good reason im more then willing to look into it

Mainly just because it is KDE default. Installing weston and following the tutorial doesn't work for me but that is a separate issue.

forgot to reply back here, I did look into this but it would up being a really janky setup iirc

That's a shame but it's understandable that its not documented in that case. Thanks for checking.
I guess this issue can be closed - as I said i didn't have a major reason for using KWin specifically other than I couldn't get weston to work and I thought it would make sense on KDE Plasma as it is included there.

I got it to this to work on kde neon.
Create the file /usr/bin/kwin-waydroid.sh with the code below inside

#!/bin/sh
kwin_wayland &
sleep 5
waydroid show-full-ui

and make it executable.

Then create the file /usr/share/wayland_session/kwin.desktop with the code below inside

[Desktop Entry]
Name=WayDroid on KWin
Comment=Android OS in a container
Exec=/usr/bin/kwin-waydroid.sh
Type=Application

Hi. Ive tried this and it didnt work. Ive tried all the session examples and none of them work.
The kwin one at least shows some kind of camera permission error in the console....
