What’s wrong with binder?

The problem with Waydroid is that you need to boot up a whole Android system, which is not great for app startup time.

I keep my Waydroid session running in the background, managed by a systemd user-level service. Works great, and if it increases resource usage I don't notice--this is on a converted Chromebook so pretty low specs.
