In my experience, Waydroid kinda sucked.
It used more resources than an Android Emulator on Windows did with less performance in games.
Of course, they’re different technologies (containerized vs VM) but the experience was vastly different.
It lacks so many QoL features. You can’t dynamically change resolution. Can’t bind keys by default (need to install something for it) etc
Wayland requirement was also a trouble for me (It didn’t work quite well and I kept running into issues)
Intel > AMD > Nvidia for Waydroid

I think if you are using hardware that has poor supports for wayland (e.g. nvidia), then poor performance of waydroid is kind of expected.
Yeah software rendering sucks a lot for Nvidia users. I’m on AMD.
