What do you use with Waydroid? (sh.itjust.works)

I've recently distro hopped to Bazzite, and saw that it comes preloaded with Waydroid. I'm curious what you fine folk find useful to run that doesn't already have a Linux native version.

The only one I can currently think I'd use would be Symfonium.

I haven't tried it, but I know people use it to run Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Although I'm reading reports that that broke recently, so I'm not sure if it's working at the moment.

Minecraft BE is very frustrating - there is a native Linux build for Android, that works great when you can get it to run on a proper computer. But Microsoft's authentication system makes it very difficult to do that. Minecraft Java Edition works without problems, and is probably the better Minecraft; but the two editions don't interoperate without server mods, a lot of people run BE, and the kids want to be able to play online with their friends.
