Ubuntu Web Remix

Ubuntu Web 20.04.3 has now been released! You can get it from https://ubuntu-web.org/#get-it. The torrent will be updated soon. For support, you can contact us on our Telegram groups at https://t.me/ubuntuwebdiscuss and https://t.me/ubuntuwebannounce or on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ubunweb.

This release includes ‘/e/ on WayDroid’. WayDroid is a new popular Anbox alternative and we have ported /e/ 10 to it, along with making a tool to manage it. So, in addition to the PWAs from the /e/ web store, you can now use Android or /e/ apps with native performance (unlike Anbox) from the /e/ store as well in Ubuntu Web. After installing the ISO, you can just launch the ‘/e/ on WayDroid’ app from the launcher and follow the steps. You’ll need a real machine (not a VM) for WayDroid to work.

Any issues with Ubuntu Web 20.04.2 not booting on some non-UEFI machines should now be fixed in 20.04.3.

Although Waydroid is quite stable now, occassional issues can be fixed by restarting it from the ‘/e/ on Waydroid’ tool available in the Ubuntu Web ISO. Note that since WayDroid doesn’t support Nvidia for obvious reasons, if you have an Nvidia GPU, you’ll either need to use the iGPU if your CPU has one or use software-rendering (which might make things slow). Also, WayDroid doesn’t work on live sessions at the moment.
