Running AndBible on Linux

• Install Ubuntu 23.04 or later version. Some derivatives and older versions do not ship by default with Wayland so if using anything else, make sure Wayland is installed. From login options make sure you are running Wayland session (that is by default at least in 23.10+ basic ubuntu desktops).
  • If running Ubuntu on top of Wayland is not an option for you, you can also use Waydroid via Weston.
