How do I remove Waydroid?

Bazzite
1

It seems kind of strange that ujust contains configuration options for waydroid, but no option to remove / uninstall fully…

Other than follow generic Waydroid removal tutorials for other distros, is there an easy way to do this in Bazzite?

When I try to uninstall via the software store, it doesn’t let me remove it.

Thanks

2 methods that are not really desirable or worth it:

  • Uninstall it with rpm-ostree and end up using more storage and slower updates since you are now creating an additional layer to the image to remove Waydroid. No benefits but the Waydroid package will no longer be installed on the system.
  • Make a custom Bazzite image and remove Waydroid from the image, so you won’t have the downsides mentioned above with slower updates and more disk space, but now you have to maintain a custom Bazzite image that changes one thing. I recommend this option if you feel technical enough for it and want to do more than solely remove the Waydroid package.
