In order to get an Android-only app working on a desktop computer I installed Weston and Waydroid which worked, but as I (and the target machine) run Mint 21 it’s not as simple as just running Waydroid and having it work, plus there is no way to close out Waydroid from within itself.

I hate how every phone uses biometrics as a bypass to a pin/password instead of being used in conjunction with a pin/password. With biometric + pin, someone needs both your pin and fingerprint.
