It is possible to run graphical apps, the main requirement is to enable a display.

video:
  display: "default"

• Add documentation on how to run graphical applications #989

For waydroid specifically, you also need to install wayland - easiest is with gdm3:

You need to install gdm3, change the config, and add a password for the VM user.

Here is a provision script to install the waydroid program, in an ubuntu-lts instance.

provision:
- mode: system
  script: |
    #!/bin/bash
    set -eux -o pipefail
    command -v waydroid >/dev/null 2>&1 && exit 0
    sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r) -y
    # https://docs.waydro.id/usage/install-on-desktops#ubuntu-debian-and-derivatives
    sudo apt install curl ca-certificates -y
    curl https://repo.waydro.id | sudo bash
    sudo apt install waydroid -y

Which platform ? There might be some trick needed, for software cursor...

EDIT: But only know how to do it for Xorg, not for Wayland... (still too new)
