mockup

for one it'd be pretty cool.
here's why I think it would make sense to integrate Waydroid and F-Droid into Discover:
-  Windows and ChromeOS do it, with limitations... it would be useful for promo
- according to Kreddit there'd be interest (https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/svdcbb/would_you_use_any_android_apps_on_plasma_if/)
- It would solve many of those "I just need this one app that's only on Windows or Android" problems
- It would open up a huge gaming library (useful for the Steam Deck too -  and also promo opportunity if KDE makes running android games on the Deck easier)
- Plasma Mobile would be more viable
...please add more

Reasons not to:
- it would require installing kernel modules
- Nvidia GPUs don't work
- installations ofc. change per distro, so maybe just for Neonat first?
...please add more

It's a good idea, but requests like this are just too huge to fit within a bug report/feature request, unfortunately. If someone wants a Waydroid backend, they're going to have to write it.
