So, I've tried:
[deck@fedora ~]$ cat .local/share/systemd/user/waydroid.service
[Unit]
Description=WayDroid User Container

[Service]
ExecStart=waydroid container start

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
[deck@fedora ~]$ cat .local/share/systemd/user/waydroid.service
[Unit]
Description=WayDroid User Container

[Service]
ExecStart=waydroid container start

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
and
[deck@fedora ~]$ cat .local/share/systemd/user/waydroid.service
[Unit]
Description=WayDroid User Container

[Service]
ExecStart=bash -c 'waydroid container start'

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
[deck@fedora ~]$ cat .local/share/systemd/user/waydroid.service
[Unit]
Description=WayDroid User Container

[Service]
ExecStart=bash -c 'waydroid container start'

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
doing sudo systemctl enable /home/deck/.local/share/systemd/user/waydroid.service enables it for the system user, then you can start/stop waydroid.service just like normal, but it doesn't log anything here
[deck@fedora ~]$ sudo systemctl status -l waydroid

You shouldn't use sudo for user-level units

Iโ€ฆknow what Iโ€™m doing Iโ€™m storing the unit file as the user but Iโ€™m executing the file as rootโ€”this was intentional for testing at least it does read the file just fine and creates the symlink just fine

you could try disabling selinux temporarily, might be causing issues?
Pixel ๐Ÿ”œ SF ๐ŸŽง
likely correct yeah, something about the context that systemd tries to start waydroid's container in is blocked by SELinux--both the provided service and my custom service are fixed I guess I could set permissive and log what needs some love

Yeah, is there an existing policy already? (Like upstream or something)

I would have imagined--though, it may be in mainline, but not in silverblue? interesting--gamescope supports xdg_shell, so the whole nested-compositor thing might be more diable than I thought? sway might make it easier, as you could just give sway a config that launches waydroid; but I'm kinda determined to get something working using just a session start script in ~/ endgame android apps in gamescope so you can have chat apps or whatever running in the background while your game is in the foreground--or like, offline youtube in the background with Premium, etc
